One thing we tend to forget is how young Montero is. He's 22 years old. Napoli debuted in the bigs at 24.
Montero is only up because his bat is so advanced. An age appropriate level for his catching skill is what - AA? He's got development left and I sure wouldn't give up on him, no way no how. He seems to call a good game already. He's getting better at controlling the running game.
Yeah, he stabs at pitches and looks awkward at times. But that's not to say he'll be doing that in 2013 or 2014. To the point of the article, I was more down on him behind the dish before I actually saw him play. He seems like he's pretty smart and already making adjustments.
