They said it...

"He's exceedingly strong with plus bat speed and great hand-eye coordination, so even though he hits off his front foot, he can drive the ball out to all fields.As a catcher, Montero is not a catcher. He's slow behind the dish, poor at receiving and throwing -- despite some arm strength, he takes a year and a half to get rid of the ball, so the arm doesn't play."  

Keith Law, ESPN.com - February 9, 2012

 

"The minors’ best hitter, Montero gets compared to Mike Piazza as a catcher whose hitting tools far outstrip his defense. However, the Yankees don’t see him as Jorge Posada’s heir, because his defense is on par with Piazza’s or worse."

John Maunel, Baseball America - December 24, 2009
