Jesus Montero
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jesus Montero is a Venezualan baseball player and right-handed catcher. On July 2, 2006, he was signed by the New York Yankees for $2 million. Scouts say he is the best prospect to come out of Latin America in some time.
Scouts say he hits like a major leaguer right now (being just 16), although they expeculate he will not remain a catcher, since he`s already 6 foot 3 at such a young age.
