NEWMAN: Montero is in the competition.

SICKELS: Really?

NEWMAN: It depends on what you mean by backup. If he is a backup who plays once a week, then no, I don't think so. If he is a backup who can play 70 or 80 games, spend some time at DH and get enough at-bats to stay sharp, then yeah, I think that's a possibility, that could happen.
