thats good talent, i heard he runs a 6.4/6.5 in the 60 yard dash, WOW! thats major league speed, i also heard he was recruited by big name schools like arizona state, purdue, Kansas eastern michigan western michigan and central michigan During his highschool days.

dang he must be a hell of a player,  and he must be underrated, but you got to understand, most players that are underrated at the highschool or college level, normally surprise alot of scouts and teams. from reading all of this about this young man he could be possibly a sleeper in the draft this year or next or even a good signed undrafted free agent if someone signs him after not getting picked. i know if i was a scout or team i would definitely not pass the talent up, this youn man has.

the draft is looking good this year, and from reading about montaous he has another year of college eligibility left in 2009, my opinion, is that he should play and be productive that last year and raise his draft stock up a little higher and maybe...just maybe..he may be a top outfielder. if he can steal 22 bases im sure he can go for 30 or more. however if he decides to test the draft this year he may be a possible sandwich pick in the draft or even an undrafted free agent.

both you guys are nuts, from reading up on this guy, he seem to be possibly sitting out this season due to his grades if im not mistaken. although he did have a stellar year in 06 and an okay year in 07, im sure he can possibly be signed by someone. there are many scouting combines, baseball academy;s and major league baseball scouting bureaus that players attend. im sure he will be fine if he works out for people over the summer, but even if he does'nt get signed, he can always return to school in top notch shape and possibly dominate next season, to improve his stock value and put his name out there a little more.

I was contacted by Montaous Walton to represent him as an agent.  The first thing he wanted was for me to pay his phone bill.  Then he asked me for cash advances.  He told me he signed a contract with the Blue Jays and then his story fell apart after I questioned him on the details.  I am an attorney and before our phone conversation was over, I knew he was an imposter.  Do not fall for any of it.  He should be prosecuted soon.

Think Montaous must have read the old SI article on Sidd Finch a few too many times, the kid has some serious mental issues. I watched him play at Madison HS in Milwaukee, I taught there at the time & coached elsewhere, he was awful.....Not even close to being the best player on that team, more like the worst......he's a disgrace to the game, I'm glad they're putting him away for a while, he needs the help.....

that is so true, dude never stole money or did anything wrong Besides Accepting money that those agents gave him to sign with them, Which is not a surprise at all this type of stuff happens in all sports including football and basketball the problem with this situation is that it was taken wayyy too far from what i heard montaous took whatever they invested in him, phone, flights and money in exchange that he would of Repayed them back once he actually signed on with a team, but the buisness Relationship that they had went sour and the two sides had a bad fallout which Resulted in the tow shady bogus agents presing charges against Walton for what they given him......if you really think about tit and do the math that situation was never about Baseball or bluejays itself it was more about two disgruntled bitter inexperienced Agents that wanted everything they gave montaous back, hell if you ask me it should of been taken to civil or small claims court, but hey it is what it is, hopefully montaous can learn from all of that and really get his life and career back in order personally im rooting for dude

OMG !!! i ran into him over the summer down at the lakefront with 4 other people and when i asked was he still gonna pursue baseball he said yeah and seemed pretty calmed and laid back...my daddy knew him and use to always say good things about montaous, i hope he do keep chasing his dream and play somewhere good, i just think he got caught up with the wrong agents in the past that was out to make him look bad in public after the fallout between them, i was told the situation was pretty minor and that he is good enough to play professionally his mistake was he was naive and was involved with two inexperienced black agents that had no idea what they were doing or how to rep.....all is well with montaous i hope he get another shot and /second chance to achieve his dreams and goals

i was reading media outlets and alot of them seem to be incorrect about what actually happened, i actually know montaous and his family his mother is very sweet, anyway montaous is indeed avery talented baseball player who has made a mistake by dealing with as we all know two crooked/shady sports agents who were dumb as a box of rocks smh...from the information i received the two agents were partners before one agent fired the other agent because he was too inexperienced and did not know what he was doing, but the ultimate fallout came when montaous found out that both agents were shady and not being able to treat  clients the right way so they parted ways and amonth later the agents schemed threatening to go to the media to humilate walton if he did not give them the investments back that they gave him, walton agreed to give them what they gave him but the two agents still went to the Press slandering walton which was really wrong, i hope montaous end up playing somewhere and starting fresh because he deserves it hopefully with an MLB team if not then maybe overseas or indy ball, but either way i believe he is capable of playing somewhere

i recently spoke to a MLB executive about montaous and was curious to know how good he really is and that particular executive response was that montaous has the potential to play at the professional level, but he needs to apply himself harder and add a little more muscle on him his past off the field incident wont affect him at all and given that he is in his mid-late 20's the Independent league will be a good start to go since guys get picked up by the the majors all the time in the independent league which ever route he takes to get there i wish him the best of luck

very talented player with good character that has the chance to turn things around for the better...im rooting for him

Man Walton is like 30 years old. His career is pretty much over but I guess anything is possible. I just hope he's more honest this time around instead of all the lying he had done over the past 6 years. Good luck to him.

there are many talented players in their mid to late 20's playing in a lot of different  pro leagues, for example there is the Can-am league, international league, independent leagues, puerto rico baseball league, Venezuela Mexico etc...and those players players are almost guaranteed to play in the majors, honestly from all the people i spoke to walton has the drive and talent to make it if he participate in one of the pro leagues

 

he got a chance and he is a good person as well as a good player would love to see him get a shot

Googling Montaous's name after reading the SBNation article, this was the first result that came up. Seeing this and other examples of his postings online firsthand is really fascinating. Seeing that his last postings here were only from a few weeks ago is a bit sad. You'd hope that he'd give it up after a while and move on, but I guess that's not so easy to do.

Montaous Walton sucks a fat dick. I heard he likes it in the butt from dudes and he can't play ball worth a ****. What a pussy.

montaous went through alot and he has changed his life around

If you know a thing or 2 about grammar, you can tell that Montaous is personally repsonsible for basically every posting on this thread that is even remotely positive.  The guy's a scammer and a fraud; you have to respect the persistence and tenacity, but it leaves you wondering what he could have been (outside the world of Baseball) if he had focused those efforts on something real.  Sad Story.

Montaous, don't you want something real in your life? To do something real, that you and your family can be proud of? You don't have to be a famous baseball player. I find it so sad that you've made this whole pretend world for yourself, and its gotten so big and out-of-hand that the only thing you can do is keep pretending. Everybody knows. The only person still living in your pretend-world is you. Respect your family, your friends and ultimately yourself enough to come clean and start something real.

he played baseball but he was caught up with two sports agents that led to his arrest nobody knows the truth and will ever know until the full truth come to the circle

Like many others here, I just read the article on SB Nation and it really touched something in me so I did a search on Montaous Walton and here I am.

I really don't know what to think of this story but I know that the easy thing to do is judge.

I've always had a hard time with dishonesty, lying myself and with people lying to me but I feel for Montaous. He has a dream and can't give it up, who hasn't been there. He lied to others to make himself look better than he really is, who hasn't done that. Montaous laughs when he lies, well I smile when I'm nervous. 

Obviously, he got in trouble for lying, he conned others under false pretense and was reprimanded for it and he's still doing it but from what it seems and it seems desperate, the gig is up, no one is going to believe anything positive written about Montaous as a baseball player ever, yet the posts continues. To whom are these post trying to fool really? 

What is the purpose of sports anyways? What about the professional sports? Why is it so important to us that it can make people lie, cheat and hurt others? What dream is Montaous really chasing? 

I do feel you are trying your best and I do hope that one day you will play on a baseball team, one that will be of you for wearing their uniform but I don't think it will be the big leagues or any other professional league, it's just be full of people that play baseball just for the sake of playing baseball.

The title of this thread is not a lie, Montaous is a top, underrated prospect but just not a baseball prospect. He's a Top, Underrated Human Prospect and being Human is so much more than just being a baseball player.

 

 I've got my own issues and deal with them my own way.

"How are you?"

"I'm fine"

 

 

bottom line is the man living his life, he was arrested last year for being accused of fraud but in reality he got off and living his life...do the math the man got his freedom and turned his life around for the better regardless of what public opinion thinks, the fact is in the eyes of the court of the law he is basically innocent and got let off the hook and moved on with his life

He's still doing this ****.... via Facebook.  One, he's a young player. Two hours later, he's looking into getting into college coaching.

replying to the guy below i totally agree this situation has gone and passed don't nobody really care too much about it any more, he has moved on i am sure and along with others..its done and over with people need to let it go seriously i am sure those two agents and him have all moved on by now the situation have become irrelevant
