RAFAEL MONTERO RUMORS
Montero Pitches Well, But Betrayed By Poor Defense In Las Vegas 11-5 Loss
Las Vegas 11, Colorado Springs 5
How does one judge Rafael Montero‘s second start in AAA this season? Well, it was his first since his recent non-temporary call-up, and he was betrayed by his defense out there on Saturday night.

Mets Minors: Rafael Montero and ho-hum greatness

Ordinarily I would be...

New York Mets prospect Rafael Montero continues to impress in camp
New York Mets prospect Rafael Montero is earning quite a bit of praise these days as camp progresses. Some people seem so focused on how problematic the outfield situation might be that they refuse to get excited over the team’s young pitching prospects. I see nothing wrong with a good bit of guarded optimism and while most fans were likely expected to have their heads turned...
