Easily one of the most underrated Catchers in baseball. Definitely deserves at least a three or four year deal.
Brandon
Yeah he is.. He put up the best offensive numbers overall in the NL (catcher wise) and He also threw out a major-league best 40 percent of would-be basestealers.

He’s not better than McCann (basically no one is).
Brandon
His overall numbers were offensively, and defensively this year. But McCann did go on the DL towards the end of the year, so his numbers would’ve been better.
Brandon
But yeah, I agree McCann is better.. but not by as much as people may think.

I was actually surprised at how close their numbers are thru ’09-’11….I have always liked Montero but thought that McCann was a lot better….

That’s what happens when one player is on a winning team playoff team, and the other player was on a team that painted the basement Sedona Red the past two seasons before last.
Brandon
I really hope we can lock him up, he is a highly underrated catcher in this league and is a huge part of this team. I think a 4yr./40mil. type of deal would be fair for both sides, with how thin the catching position is now a days.
Andy Forrester
He’s all ready busted his meniscus once, not to say that he’s injury prone but you never really want to put that many guaranteed years and dollars behind a catcher, see Joe Mauer. I’d go with a 2 year $13 million and tack on two year deals from there based on how well he does.

I’d have no problem seeing him locked down for at least 3/4 years at good money; he’s earned it!

Catchers can be fickle, but Montero proved himself to be one of the top 3 catchers in the league (McCann and Yadier) and should be worth the money.
