Agree 100% that Montero is better. I think he's better by a mile. Perhaps NY had reservations of parting with him though. The Yanks are always reluctant to deal their upper level talent and IIRC have offered such guys then pulled back last minute, instead, offering 2nd tier players, much like the Rios/Lincecum rumor a few seasons back. Back to Montero, I don't see the guy as a super prospect, but he's a guy the Yanks will have as their franchise catcher for years to come once Posada retires.
