Jesus Montero got off to a slow start after his promotion to the 'AA' Trenton Thunder, but Montero is now hitting a solid .299 with an .906 OPS. He was rewarded yesterday when he was named to the Eastern League Norther All-Star squad to replace injured catcher Josh Thole.
Montero joins teammates Zach McAllister, Josh Schmidt, Reegie Corona, Eduardo Nunez, and Jorge Vazquez. Thunder manager Tony Franklin and his coaching staff will run the Northern team.
