Dan Duquette and Kevin Kennedy were talking on XM this morning how Montero really isn't a very good catcher, but he can really hit and that they have a monster in AA (forget the name right now) who is a much better catcher and almost equal offensively to Montero. They they went through and were talking about how the Yanks are so good at recognizing the talent they have and trading away the lessers (the only one I can remember is Petite vs. Sterling Hitchcock). So their conclusion was that Montero probably isn't the superstar they've built him up to be and other teams should be cautious. They could be totally wrong, but they were very convincing in their history of who the Yanks have dealt and kept. Also, I would be a bit concerned about Hughes - he hasn't looked as dominate in his last few starts.

Hey, that one was a pretty good deal. Snow didn't won six straight Gold Gloves and had six seasons with an OPS+ of 112 or better (he had an excellent year in 1997.) After the trade, Abbott went 40-56 for the rest of his career, never coming close to his 1991 season. Definitely a win for the Angels. |
