Montero was simply awesome in '08. His season at Low-A Charleston where he hit .326 with 17 HR and 87 RBI vaulted him from being an intriguing prospect to an elite future superstar. Montero has immense strength and bat speed that launches moon shots to all fields and his exceptional hand-eye coordination helps him to mitigate the high strikeout numbers that plague many young and raw power hitters. Defensively, Montero possesses good movement for a catcher his size, though his catch and throw skills still need considerable work in order for him to stay behind the plate. Given Montero's already immense size, it is likely that he will be converted to 1B or LF before making his debut in Yankee stadium (much like Carlos Delgado's development with the Blue Jays). Additionally, Montero needs to become more adept at working deeper into counts and earning more walks. Montero's strength is his bat, pure and simple. His card values will benefit most if he is able to remain a catcher. Regardless, he hitting prowess is so special that his card values should continue to climb regardless of where he plays.
