Apparently Miguel Montero has already predicted the Cubs will win the World Series. Cubs.com published their 5 reasons the Cubs will win the World Series post today and one of the reasons is this:
Catcher Miguel Montero already has predicted Starlin Castro will be the MVP of the postseason, and it would be quite a turnaround. Castro was batting .236 when Maddon took him out of the lineup on Aug. 7, and instead of pouting, Castro has accepted the move from shortstop to second and made adjustments at the plate. He led the NL in batting in September, hitting .426.
I guess I missed this. Obviously if he thinks Castro will win the MVP of the postseason, then he's thinking the Cubs win the World Series. I'll take it. That kind of prediction takes balls, but I like it.
I think this is Montero being a good teammate and talking up someone who has gone through some difficult periods. I bet if you forced Miggy to bet a lot of money on who he thought the postseason MVP would be if the Cubs won the World Series he would be putting his money elsewhere.
That said, I like his optimism.
