Where will Montero fit in?

So the Yankees beat King Felix on Monday and Austin Romine made his first full game debut a day after an interesting catching weekend with both Martin and Cervelli getting hurt, Posada catching part of a game and Montero making his catching debut. Montero wasn't exactly gold glove caliber, but neither was Posada. Romine caught Hughes and it doesn't look like the Yankees are totally confident on having Montero catch, but if they aren't then where will he fit in to the Yankees in 2012 and the future. Sure Montero could DH in 2012 and 2013 but A-Rod and Teixeira are locked up until 2017 and 2016 and Jeter will be playing the next few years. Montero would lose significant playing time to these guys if he is nothing but a DH so the Yankees need to put him somewhere. Obviously Montero is a catcher but his defense is only passable and it seems every other team views him as a first baseman and nobody thinks that he will stick at catcher in the long term due to a lack of defensive skill and his size. Brian Cashman said at the beginning of the year that Montero would be the starting catcher, but then they signed Russel Martin and Montero didn't even win the backup spot. With Martin and Cervelli hurt it seemed like an ideal time to give Montero more time behind the plate but instead they had him catch Garcia and then they replaced him with Austin Romine in the 7th and it looks like Romine will be the primary backup as Cervelli's return this season is not guaranteed. If the Yankees don't plan on having Montero be the primary backup now will they be confident next April? Could the Yankees possibly decide to carry Martin, Cervelli/Romine and Montero in 2012 and have Montero be the primary DH? Ideally they would have Montero be the backup/primary DH and have Martin be the starting catcher but I don't know if they trust him as the backup. If the Yankees don't see him as a catcher even now then where are they going to put him? He can't move to first because Mark Teixeira is under contract until 2016 and is a gold glove first baseman. Some might suggest that they move him to RF because Nick Swisher has a team option for 2012 but if they were going to do that they should have moved Montero to the outfield awhile ago because Montero would be a huge defensive liability having never played any position but Catcher in the minors. The Yankees are getting older and they have some great young players and Montero has the potential to have the best bat of all of them and he is only 21. The Yankees are going to need to figure out what they are doing with Montero or they are going to have to trade him and I really doubt that they want to do that now that Jesus is Loose. In my opinion they should put him as the backup Catcher/ Primary DH for 2012 and see if he sinks or swims.
