Decent little piece at Fangraphs on why it's silly to compare Sanchez to Montero, primarily because Montero was never going to make it as a major league catcher while Sanchez looks good behind the plate. Gary Sanchez is no Jesus Montero - ( New Window )
I said 25+ HR power for Sanchez would be great, just because that's a shitload for a Catcher. But he's not just hitting homers, he's just ripping these pitches. His ceiling is pretty damn enormous considering he looks solid behind the plate as well.
His command on his fastball is not very good, his slider is always out of the zone, and guys just sit on that fastball and hammer him. He has no out pitch, as far as I can see...thus his difficulties with two outs and men on.

Torreyes better go get 3 hits or he's back on the bench lol
Indeed. 6 of his 9 have been solo shots
Dave if I didn't know any better, I'd think you were talking about the Mets.
Judge may indeed be a very very plus defender especially once he learns RF in Yankee stadium.

Haha. What?
2-0 Yankees.
So? They didn't hit him bc he threw out Cano. Come on.
Cano hits into DP! Out of the jam ...
Relax buddy
