Against the righties, he was definitely being hit much harder (deep fly out to center and a rocket-ball to first mixed in with a K), but he looked serviceable against the righties and appears to be death on a stick to lefties. That'll play nicely, thank you. To his credit, Montero CALLED a brilliant game...he realized Millwood was wild high early in the game and decided to exploit that. He called aggressively for the offspeed game when he had pitchers in there who could execute (League, Luetge, Delabar - though Delabar's results were poor on fastballs, his offspeed pitches got garbage swings...he's Bobby Ayala Mark II...he can't center a fastball or it's going out of the park, he needs to pitch backwards more).
I think Luetge looks like a solid rule V steal for us...he'll be in the pen year round if he keeps throwing this well to lefties.
