Jesus Montero on the YES Network

Written by Greg Fertel | 18 February 2010

Yankees Magazine takes a look at Jesus Montero and gives us a view of his hitting, receiving, and throwing. Montero was profiled in the Daily News the other day, and this video does a good job of supplementing that piece. According to Montero, Jorge Posada is one of his best friends and has been teaching him a lot. This is great news. Now, when Montero breaks into the big leagues, expect him to take the job of the manager and GM into his own hands and clamor for Joba to pitch out of the bullpen.

On a serious note, it's nice to see the veteran Posada working diligently with a player who is still in the minors. Not that this is a lofty goal, but if Montero can be just adequate defensively, like Posada has been for his career, he will be a tremendous asset for the Yankees. I'm still not sure Posada is the best option to teach Montero defense, but it's great to see Montero working hard at sticking behind the plate.
