It should be interesting to see if Gibson sticks with this move going forward. The Diamondbacks face Cliff Lee on Saturday, against whom he is hitless in three career at-bats. Montero is a career .250 hitter against southpaws and has just 14 home runs against them.","date":"Sat May 11"},"fullName":"Miguel Montero","seasonOutlook":{"outlook":"Montero has been one of the more reliable, yet not-quite-elite, fantasy catchers of the past two seasons, a productive prime-years hitter who made a key gain last season. That was his walk rate: He set a new personal best of 12.7 percent, helping boost his on-base percentage to .391 and assuring his batting average should remain in useful territory. Montero has balanced lefty/righty and home/road splits, failing to follow the pattern of many other Diamondbacks who capitalize mostly on the hitter-friendly confines of Chase Field, meaning he's well worth using as your No. 1 backstop, whether you play in a mixed or NL-only league.","seasonId":2013,"date":"Wed Feb 20"},"playerRater30DAY":-3.7,"playerRater15DAY":-3.9,"positionRank":37}
