Jesus Montero, AAA pitcher's park, age 20:
.277/.353/.472/.824
Adam Jones, AAA pitcher's park, age 20:
.287/.345/.484/.829
Adam's first 1500 pro at-bats:
.271/.315/.428/.743.
Jesus is a 1B/DH. Adam is a CF. As a CFer, Jones is doing just fine - but he's not yet what the hype said he would be and it's 4 years later and it hasn't grown exponentially from his minor league showings.
Do I think Montero is gonna be worth the hype? Yes.
Would I call him on a different planet than Justin Smoak because he didn't fold in AAA? Nope.
If you can call Montero light-years ahead of Smoak and all other prospects, then you're better than guys who get paid 6 and 7 figures to do this, because many of them disagree with you. Props for calling your shot though. We'll reconvene in 3 years and see how it's going.
