We've done these before.  I believe there has been numerous Joba Chamberlain man crush threads, a couple Phil Hughes man crush threads, and a dozen Shelley Duncan man crush threads - so why keep everyone's favorite pitching prospect out of the fun.

Today, as you may have seen in our Spring Training wrap up - Montero hit a towering homer off the "M" in "George M. Steinbrenner" on top of the center field score board.  Montero's power is the stuff of legend, and his defense seems to be coming along well.  The best part of Montero: Jorge Posada loves him and has no problem grooming the young phenom as his replacement.

What is everyone's thoughts on Jesus?  Is he one of those guys that never really develops to his potential or do you think he's the real deal?  When do you think he will make an impact on the major league team?  If Cervelli severely underperforms this season as Jorge's backup - could you see Montero getting time in the majors (personally, I think the Yankees will hold him in the minors so he will get more consistent playing time)?

You know how these are done, talk about the young guy - your deepest thoughts and feelings about him - hell, throw in a couple Chuck Norris type statements too, because I'm sure that Jesus Montero's tears cure more than just cancer.

I love Jesus! He is soo freaking good. I dont understand it. How can a guy so far along with his bat be still in the minor leagues? Who cares, his defense isnt that far along. Thats why their is a position known as the "Designated Hitter"! I mean, Montero is just utterly dominant. There is no way he starts this season anywhere below AAA. I would not be surprised if he is called up at some point over the year just because of his bat.

I saw a picture on RAB sometime over the summer, I think, of a sign that read "Jews for Jesus" with Montero in it. Needless to say, that fits me perfectly, since I am jewish, lol.
