Guess I was buying into the 'net rat chatter a little too quick?
There is certainly an argument for keeping him at 1B/DH so that he doesn't become Matt Weiters - an argument based on maximizing Montero's bat.
But for bloggers to laugh at the idea of Montero catching? What would a blogger know about catcher defense? And how many times has that blogger seen Jesus Montero catch?
You'll notice that I steer wayyyyyy clear of catcher defense, for the same reason that I don't argue with Grumpy about surgery. If the Mariners say that Montero can catch, that's my default assumption.
