Why, can he catch? Gee, I can't fathom why the Cubs would carry an extra catcher to back up and old man and a guy with a bad back for the time being. He's a waste of a roster spot. He can't hit worth a damn, and if the need for a back up-back up catcher arose, we could pick up another 10 of Fedorawhatsit on a moment's notice. Besides, isn't there supposed to be an emergency catcher on every roster? One of the bench guys who could survive a few innings behind the plate in the even that the other two are out of the game? Yeah, there was one, and then his leg exploded. Until Montero's back is up to snuff they're going to have a cruddy 3rd string catcher.
