Here’s a crazy idea…why not have Montero spend his D.L. and rehab time in the Bronx while the Yankees play out the season? Could be a nice chance for him to get his feet wet with respect to the big league scene…and…then…when the time comes for him to play in the majors…the awe factor will be somewhat offset…right?

Not a bad idea… if it were to work. The flip side is that he gains a sense of accomplishment and entitlement (both as being a heralded prospect and feeling like he’s already made the major league team and is a star.)

It would be good if he could come away appreciative, humbled, and hungry…

If the Yankee brass thinks he has to type of make-up that would benefit from being around Major Leaguers, then they should bring him around the BX. However, I doubt they will…
