The NSI Minor League Report: No Homers For Montero

Friday 7/3

Jesus Montero didn't homer, but did get 3 hits to raise his average to .346. Jorge Vazquez homered for the 4th time in the last 10 games. Garrison Lassiter went 4 for 4 with Charleston and seems ready to breakout. Lassiter was probably the best positional draft pick in 2008. He was drafted as a shortstop, but seems to be playing 3rd more, since he is too big to be a shortstop.
