Hack Wilson - real:
so what do Mariner fans think of Jesus Montero being on that HGH list? he might be fools gold if his power was all because of the juice. his hype was probably more than phil hughes (who was supposed to be the next roger clemens type lmao)

Hard to say man. He had a decent rookie year last year but has looked like complete shit this year (the HGH list actually came out pre-season). I hope it's false and or it's not as big a deal as people think but that could explain why he was such a highly regarded prospect in the NY organization. Dude has no trace of athleticism though so if he's not a legit power bat he's useless.

Well one of the big reasons he was so touted here was because he stood out offensively in a Yankees system that's loaded with catching talent. The fact that Posada was on his way out and everybody was hoping that Montero would be his successor also fueled the buzz.
That said, I can only wonder how things would've gone of we didn't trade him. Would we be cheering or booing him? Would he be up in the bigs because of Cervelli's injury and Stewart's minor but nagging injuries? Would we have traded Romine or Sanchez away instead?
I suppose those questions will never be answered but now that I think about it I'm glad we got rid of him. More than anything because I've been a Cervelli supporter for a while and because he sucks defensively compared to Romine and because I want a clear path for Sanchez as he makes his way to the show.
And even after those three we've still got O'Brien 8).

Yup, I hope for my own sake that he's never the same guy but he looked like a future ace in his one season here.
