Um…..no. I loved Posada but he was the THIRD greatest catcher of his era. Piazza and Rodriguez were both significantly better players than Jorge Posada. Sorry but lets not get homer crazy here. Piazza was about he same defensively and hit well enough...

When he was the general manager in the 1990s, the club rebuilt the farm system as it drafted Derek Jeter and Andy Pettitte and developed Jorge Posada and Mariano Rivera, the core of the recent World Series title teams. Michael also traded for Paul...

The last home run allowed by Tim Wakefield was by Jorge Posada. It also was the last home run Posada hit. Now they're retired. Wakefield gave up 401 career home runs, the first to Robby Thompson in 1992. Thompson has been retired for 15 years. Wakefield...

Leiberthal, and Weiters). Mauer and Weiters were both ranked number one. Of those Mauer and Weiters were number one picks so they basically were in the top 100 from the time they were drafted. That means seven of the eighteen were never ranked in the...

But I'm aware of it because a lot of kids ask me a lot of questions, I get an opportunity to get to know them and work with them a little bit, But in my mind, I'm still … I wouldn't say 18, but somewhere between those 20 years, somewhere in between." ...

Let’s remember, Tony Fernandez and Tony Womack needed to be signed because it was too scary to let rookies like Derek Jeter or Robinson Cano play roles for a team that had the financial resources to ensure better. It is the nature of the large-market...

For years, we’ve grown accustomed to Derek Jeter, Jorge Posada, Andy Pettitte, and Mariano Rivera as the faces of the franchise. In recent years, Robinson Cano has captivated us, and looks to be next in line to carry the torch (some may argue he...

Ibanez, meanwhile, had a .747 OPS vs. righties in 2011, nothing special but better than Damon’s .715 and Matsui’s .654. The righty-hitting Vladimir Guerrero, also a free agent, had a .743 OPS vs. righties. For what it is worth, the now-retired Jorge...

In fact, Sales died during the 2009 season, an event I informed Burnett of in front of his locker. "That sucks,'' Burnett said, with real concern on his face. "Who's he?'' 5. ABJ -- Anybody but Jorge No, there was never any problem between Burnett and...

How will the Yankees be able to handle getting a year older? There's no getting around it -- as Jorge Posada's retirement reminds us, the Yanks are built largely as a veteran team, and many players need to continue beating the clock. In fact, the later...

“I don’t go out there with a sense to prove anything,” Jeter continued. “I go out there to try to get better, try to improve, try to help us win, but I don’t ever take the field saying I have to prove something to someone.” Apart from his best friend...

It’s not easy to play in New York with the expectations that come along with it. He’s handled himself well.’’ The Core Four is down to the Core Two: Jeter and Mariano Rivera. It won’t be long before Jeter is the last one standing. How different is it...

Molina's next contract is likely to pay him in the neighborhood of $10MM per season, though his skillset makes him markedly different from the only other two catchers (Jorge Posada and Joe Mauer) who have signed deals with a $10MM AAV. Those players...
