The other one was the idiot coach on the Yankees who criticized Cano's hustle.
In both cases, Lloyd got gift-wrapped opportunities to tell every player on the team what he was about. "I will stand up for my players...but they've got to perform." Both sides of the statement proven with these two incidents.
It didn't matter whether Montero hit or not. He disrespected the organization by, in his own words, 'just eating' most of the winter. For that, he was banished. Was it because Lloyd didn't like him, or was [ticked] at him? I doubt it--Lloyd probably never exchanged a word with him before getting the job. I imagine him alone in his office smiling and saying, "thank you, Jesus!"
Has Montero's attitude/maturity changed in Tacoma? All Lloyd has to do is make one phone call to find out.
If so,Montero will probably come up. If not, his hitting won't matter.
