Montero to be Called up to Yankees Soon?
According to the Trenton Times, Yankees prospect Jesus Montero could be promoted "in the very near future."
Montero has posted a somewhat disappointing .283/.342/.429 batting line in 84 games this season at the Triple-A level, but the Yankees love his power potential and apparently feel that he's nearly ready to contribute to the major league lineup. The 21-year-old would likely split time between DH and catcher. He slugged 21 homers in the minors last year and has 10 big flies this season.
