Wow….just wow.. You are acting as if a 18 at A ball is behind schedule instead of ahead of it. After low A, there’s A+, AA and AAA. He doesn’t turn 19 until December and he played the entire season as an 18 C playing at low A sally. Just as a comparison, that’s the same league that Bryce Harper played at for most of 2011 and the same level/lge that Montero was at, at the same age. In addition he hit 17 hrs, had a .820 OPS and threw out 31% of would be runners. He certainly has some work to do on defense but most experts expect him to stick at C, certainly more likely than Montero.
Go to baseball reference and look up the Sally league. You will find that anyone that had more HRS than Sanchez was either much older (by at least 2 years) AND had significantly more PA’s than Sanchez. He’s not ranked #30 overall by BA last year for nothing.
Are you really saying that a power hitting 18 year old C playing full season ball isn’t a legit major piece for a trade?

Perfectly answered that for me. Thanks!
