I don’t like trading Montgomery for Bader.

It's a head scratcher......I never liked Monty's stuff but had to recognize the positive stats....albeit it with frustrating starts. 

I know nothing about Bader - perhaps Mr. @CWood21 can give us the low down on what we just got. 

Odd timing as well....what with Sevy on IL and scheduled to return whenever.

Joel Sherman -  The Yankees began today leading the majors in Defense Runs Saved. In that stat their biggest negative area was center field (minus-6). Bader won a Gold Glove in center last year.

He's a solid CFer who won a Gold Glove last year.  Defensive metrics don't love him by any means, but he's anything but a liability in CF.  Last year is probably his peak performance, but you probably get a more consistency out of him.  He's a ~3 WAR CF in a normal season, and he's signed to a reasonable $5.2M next year.  Unfortunately, he's currently on the DL with a foot injury with rumors that it might be worse then the Cardinals are letting on.  Overall, I think it's a solid trade in terms of value.  You're trading a CF for a SP.

His defense in Center is great. Very Fast. Hopefully he comes back healthy from his foot problems. His bat is below average, but his k% Has gone down pretty significantly over the past 2 seasons. 

I think you'll like him.
