Our long national nightmare is over. Chad Jennings has confirmed that uberprospect Jesus Montero was pulled from Friday’s game because he didn’t run out a grounder, and was also held out of this weekend’s games for the same reason. He will return to the lineup tonight. There was talk that Montero pulled up lame running to first (implying injury), but reports later indicated that he was seen warming up pitchers in the bullpen. If he was hurt, that never would have been allowed.
Good job by the organization to make sure that didn’t go unpunished. Montero has never experienced failure as a professional player, so it’s good to see them keep him in check. Hopefully this is the last we hear of this.
