He is, no doubt. So is Sears with Oakland. If Montas turns out to be another Sonny Gray, then this will be a huge problem
But right now we have starting pitching in spades. Cole, Cortes, Montas, Taillon, and German right now. Sevy in the wings and Schmidt just called up. And right now our lineup needs the most help. With Aaron Hicks literally looking like he should retire and Marwin Gonzalez being pressed into regular OF duty, Bader is going to be sorely needed. That defense will be stellar. Judge in RF, Beni in LF and Bader in CF? Yikes. And we need his bat, even if he’s in the midst of a down season.
