Torrii Hunter had a high K rate in the minors, and look at the player he is today. And I'm sure he wasnt the only prospect who K'd alot in the minors who became a star. Okay, I will.

If you scan the leaders down to, oh .780 or so, and then check their ages. A lot of the names for those who are 18-19 <b>and</b> have an .800+ OPS are pretty familiar ML names. It's pretty exciting to think of what Montero might be able to do. I kinda wish they would just move him to first already and quit with the catching thing. Yeah, it's great to have a .900 OPSing catcher, but I'd rather see Montero start 162 games a year instead of the ~130 a catcher does and have the lower injury risk. His bat could be really special.

Hopefully, he stays healthy and can stay away from the dreaded TJ syndrome. I heard recently that Manny Barreda had TJ surgery. Is this true? Banuelos makes up for the loss of INoa.
