It’s that time again.  The New York Yankees are heading toward the off-season and starting pitching is the priority.  There are options on the free agent market that will draw plenty of attention – including a substantial amount from the New York Yankees.  There are internal options – albeit of the young and untrusted variety.  And as always there are also trade options – we just don’t know who.  Like clockwork, writers around New York are back at their computers typing up all of the reasons why the New York Yankees should trade Jesus Montero and speculating on a number of non-No. 2 types that the New York Yankees could acquire.  Thankfully a lot of New York Yankees fans have cooled on the idea of trading the team’s No. 1 prospect for pretty much any pitcher not named Felix Hernandez or Clayton Kershaw.  Over at River Ave. Blues, Joe put together a nice post explaining why the New York Yankees can’t and shouldn’t trade Jesus Montero.  He pretty much took the thoughts right out of my mind and is definitely worth reading.  Instead of just repeating everything I’ll touch on a few key points that caught my attention in the post and in the comments.

This is definitely not the last time I’m going to put a post together regarding Jesus Montero.  I feel like it is my duty as a New York Yankees fan (and prospect hugger) to shoot down the foolish ideas that these sports writers come out with every few weeks.

  1. Henry says:

    The yankees would be out of there mind to trade Montero. He is a better defensive catcher then some have suggested and he has shown he can hit major league pitching and then some. He is that solid 300 hitter with power we have been needing. He also gets on base and can start rallies. Would be a huge improvement offensively at the bottom of the order.

      The thing that concerns me the most is the lack of young impact bats ready to contribute at the Major League level.
