Montero homered as part of a 3-for-3 effort against Cincinnati on Saturday.
Analysis:
Montero is 5-for-5 this spring, but even a 1.000 batting average isn't going to stop him from ceding games to Kyle Schwarber (and to a lesser extent, David Ross) behind the plate this year. Though Montero is an above-average fantasy catcher, the stuffed Chicago offense means he'll sit more often than not. The good news is that could keep him fresh, leading to a better batting average. The bad news is his counting numbers will suffer. Don't pay for the 2011-2012 Montero, or you'll likely be disappointed.
