Montero has looked good so far in spring training, The New York Post reports. "The stuff is still there," Las Vegas pitching coach Frank Viola said. "It's just [a question of] confidence."
The 25-year-old's fastball/changeup combination is still capable of making a contribution, but after spending most of last season in the minors and posting some atrocious walk rates, Montero has a lot to prove to the Mets. If he looks sharp this spring he could win a spot in the bullpen, but more likely the organization will try to keep developing him as a starter at Triple-A.
