Also we wouldn't have been throwing away $13M plus the luxury tax this year. It would have been hilarious for the Mets to sign Posada to a 5 year deal. In fact I wouldn't put it past Minaya to do that. Look at the other old, underachieving players on that team (Carlos Delgado cough cough). Plus the Yankees have plenty of leadership on the team already - Jeter, A-Rod, Petttite. Not everyone needs to be a leader. Molina is a leader in his own right the way he calls games behind the plate. The pitchers all respect him and that is good enough for me. Not to mention he swings a respectable bat.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-276907225428640229.post-43821944334201391832008-04-28T07:13:00.000-04:002008-04-28T07:13:00.000-04:00Great pictures RebeccaI think that the Yanks had n...Great pictures Rebecca<BR/><BR/>I think that the Yanks had no choice but to give Posada that contract. If they did not the Mets would have. They still would be left without a catcher. <BR/><BR/>When Jorge does come back, hopefully he can catch again. Even if not, in whatever position he plays, he still brings leadership and offense to the team.Franhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00378837102550320956noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-276907225428640229.post-10175971187913959732008-04-27T21:37:00.000-04:002008-04-27T21:37:00.000-04:00Nice pics from the game.And not to say I told ya s...Nice pics from the game.<BR/><BR/>And not to say I told ya so, but look what happened to Jorge. I was skeptical this offseason of giving a 36 yr old catcher coming off an above-average season a huge contract, and my skepticism has been confirmed. Posada now is just more dead weight on the payroll, and Molina is now the starter behind the plate. It was only a matter of time before something happened to Jorge. When he comes back he will probably just be another 1B/DH, as if we don't have enough of those already.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
