If you move Montero away from catcher, you are going to get dramatically less production overall even if you get more AB's from Montero because you will then be playing Olivo/Jaso A LOT more, and they are worse players than Mike Carp and Casper Wells. That's the whole point of this post.
Take a look at Mike Piazza's first 5 seasons with the Dodgers. He missed a lot of time in that span, yet still averaged 6.5 wins per season. In addition, Eric Karros had a 111 OPS+ in that time. How much money do you think the Dodgers would have had to have spent in order to get an above average hitter to play catcher and replace Karros' production? They would have had to spend a ton, if such a player were even available.
