I love the idea of roster flexibility, especially for such a young club.  That said, we do seem to have some inflexbility created by Montero's addition.
If the plan is for Montero to get 600 PAs split between time spent at DH and catcher, then the Ms are going to either need to carry 3 catchers on the roster, or rely on one of the position players to serve as an emergency catcher.
It would be nice not to waste a roster spot on a third catcher.  I don't believe that we have anyone on the roster with catching experience other than the three full time catchers.
It isn't clear to me whether using Montero as a part-time DH will mean that the Ms  need something more than an "emergency" guy.  The likelihood that a third catcher will be needed seems fairly high, depending upon how often Montero starts at DH.
