Who would you rather have, Jesus Montero or Justin Smoak?
Justin Smoak. Minor league numbers don't really translate at all to the MLB, and there's a risk in Montero; any scrub can hit .300 in AAA, though I'm not at all saying that Montero won't be good at the big league level. For example, Bryan LaHair has a .352/.425/.664 line and his numbers obviously haven't translated well in the majors. Smoak has shown he can produce at the major league level and until Montero does the same, I can't say with any merit that he's better than Smoak, who still has a bright future ahead of him and is already doing well with an OPS well above .800, good for something like 20th in the league.
