Mariners fan scathing letter to Jesus Montero published in Seattle Times

But none of them are any good.

exactly. The best one is Seagar who in reality is an average player. Hits .270 with around 20 homers. Probably a 6 or 7 hitter in a normal lineup.

True. I love how fans just say, "You have to build through the draft like Cardinals and Rays". No duh, but if everybody could do it like them then every team would be .500. Some teams have to find other ways of doing it when the prospects are duds. Trades and free agents are what you are left with and it would be hard to trade if you had nothing to offer because you couldn't draft in the first place.

The Cardinals are great at developing players but they also sprinkle in free agents/trades. I love the model the vacant Steinbrenner Yankees were formed in the mid 90's with a build from within but make a couple trades to fill needs. The Mariners have the perfect ability to do it that way and not the Jack Z way of quantity over quality or Bavasi's just throw a ton of money at someone's way.

Someone on Facebook called Montero "Obese Mode".

Montero and his 20 taco eating a day ass can go do it on someone elses dollar. Just another example of why the NFL still rules over MLB and NBA because they can still eventually dump a player who becomes a lazy fatass. They don't have to sit there for years paying these failures to suck ass and eat.

My first act as MLB commish would be abolishing longterm guaranteed contracts in the sport. Let the parasite sports agents cry till the cows come home.

My second act would be that the MLB anointed darlings like the Yankees, RedSox, and Cardinals, would still be PED tested like everyone else.

Watch the MLB return to respectability in record time.

Regent i agree with everything you said.....but had to comment on your sig quoting a 17/18? Year old kid who hasnt stepped foot on campus yet???

GOD his fat ass is 40 pounds over the target weight I know there is a lot of crazy shit going on in venezuela but you dont need to eat over it

 

[Fountain City Blues]

This is just embarrassing. Oh wait, it isn't, because Montero simply doesn't care. What a jerk Montero is.

 

[NWinAZ]

He is now what he was then. We just hoped he could hit enough to overlook all his laziness. It didn't happen and it may never will.

By MLBTR:

Whatever hopes the Seattle organization once had for once-treasured prospect Jesus Montero have all but vanished, reports Ryan Divish of the Seattle Times. "I have zero expectations for Jesus Montero," said Zduriencik. "Any expectations I had are gone." It would be hard to think of a player who has had a rougher year than Montero, who struggled through injury, PED suspension, and performance issues. Now, he is 40 pounds over his target weight at the start of camp. "After winter ball, all I did was eat," the catcher forthrightly acknowledged. "We are disappointed in how he came in physically," said Zduriencik. "He's got a ton to prove. It's all on him."

He basically had 6 months off from all responsibilities to get his shit together, and squandered it all away.

He is a lazy fatass piece of shit, but I don't just blame him for it. Management and trainers need to hold players accountable, especially if they have the intellect of a mushroom like Montero apparently has.

 

[seattlefan75]

If he doesnt make the 25 man roster (which i highly expect) than i wouldnt even bother demoting him I would just cut him all together.

But hey you never know he might finish Spring training with a .318 avg 4 homers 11 RBIs
