I was thinking that too CPB ... of course if Smoak goes back out, we get whoever Smoak returns, and that becomes in effect the swap for Pineda...

Am excited enough about Montero as a 1B/DH because that dude can go 425 feet to right and right-center. At 1B/DH he looks like the return of Edgar Martinez, give or take thirty pounds. The shots to RF and RCF are gorgeous.
If Montero were to play catcher, though, you would really have a shot at a Mike Piazza-level HOF commodity, a commodity far more valuable than Pineda. The 116-win M's had a 37-homer, right hand power hitter at a glove position.
