After reading my e-mails for the last few days and looking at some comments on the blog, I was surprised to learn that Jorge Posada apparently doesn’t know how to catch.
Unlike the very wise Jose Molina and the very energetic Francisco Cervelli, all Posada apparently does is swipe at ...

... 1) Jorge Posada’s gamecalling- I have had too many arguments with Steve on Jorge’s game calling to rehash them here. I would like to recommend Pete Abe’s article on this today, however, and add one point of my own. Regardless of which pitches are being called, the pitchers are not throwing them for strikes, which is their job. I do not care if Posada called for an eephus pitch, the job of the pitcher is to throw the ball in the strike zone, and nobody is following through on that. ...

... Luis Aparicio had the record for hits as a shortstop before Jeter and he received just 84.6% of the vote and it wasn't even his first ballot. Phil Rizzuto was the Yankee shortstop for 7 World Series titles but had to be elected by the Veterans Committee 38 years after he retired, and unlike Jeter, he won an MVP. Lots of people disputed Jeter's leadership when he didn't stand up for A-Rod. Others have said that Jorge Posada was the real, fiery leader in the Yankee clubhouse. And "grinder" is a nebulous, bullshit term that has been used to ...
