To me it's not even a question - he combines a weak bat with poor catching fundamentals (he's lazy on balls in the dirt, and has absolutely no catching IQ). They might as well play the other weak-hitting catchers who at least know how to play the position. They need to send him down to learn the position, and if he's not capable of doing that, trade him before everyone else figures it out.

Going to the game tomorrow with the team having lost 9 of their last 10. And, it's forecast to be 96 degrees at game time. Good times.
Hot, sucky, night at the ballpark. Montas gets full credit, the rest of the pitching staff is pathetic.
