Montero Gets to Star in Front of Home Crowd


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.

Thunder official press release:
The 2009 Eastern League All-Star Game will be played at Mercer County Waterfront Park on Wednesday, July 15th at 7:05 PM. The gates at Waterfront Park will open for all fans at 2:05 PM - a full five hours before the first pitch. Fans will be able to watch both teams take batting practice then there will be an autograph session and a Home Run Derby.

Limited seats remain for the All-Star Game. Tickets are available now by calling 609-394-3300 or online at www.trentonthunder.com.
