Jorge Posada News

For the past couple of weeks wea ve been looking back at how players performed in 2009 and have attempted to predict how they are going to do in the upcoming season as part of our Player Previews.

We know that Jose Molina is a terrible batter. He's so bad that you can't even call him a hitter - he's just a batter .

During the 2009 season, the World Series Champion New York Yankees had a special way of celebrating walk-off heroics - smashing pies in the faces of the game's heroes.Topps captures 12 of these fun moments on short printed variations in 2010 Topps Series 1.

According to Minnesota radio station WCCO, the Twins and catcher Joe Mauer have agreed to a 10-year contract extension.

Via Peter Botte - While acknowledging that Derek Jeter "absolutely" is a special case and not comparable to his situation, Johnny Damon fired a warning flare Friday anyway.

So the Yankees saved $2 million by not resigning Johnny Damon. It's hard to believe that the Yankees are now getting "cheap". I do see them making a huge push for Joe Mauer and Carl Crawford , both of whom are free agents after this season.

Brett Gardner is a useful player. But he is useful in that good third-down back kind of way, more Darren Sproles than Chris Johnson.

CC Sabathia never felt as if the pressure that can come with signing a $161 million contract ever got to him.

As I tweeted on Saturday night, Yankees star Alex Rodriguez came up big with another clutch moment, delivering perhaps the funniest line of the 87th annual BBWAA awards.

The consensus right now seems to be that barring injuries Jorge Posada will catch between 100 and 110 games.

During the 2009 baseball season, Jorge Posada and Jose Molina went on the disabled list within about a week of each other and the Yankees were out of catchers.

With Opening Day only a few months away the inevitable Red Sox vs. Yankees comparisons are starting to rear their ugly heads.

Spira, who serves 22 months in federal prison for extortion, says he suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder and can't work.

Quote from NYnasty circa 2035 : "You know, kids, I saw Jorge Posada play back in the day! He was top 15 all time in VORP, DREPFUG+, AND PEWHF!" Kids: Wow, Grampa! Nasty: Yup.

I enjoyed this post yesterday by The Vertex's Eric Bienenfeld about this year's Hall of Fame ballot, which included a Met who almost was - Barry Larkin - as well as Roberto Alomar, a Met we could have done without.

Rays finalize Shoppach contract Kelly Shoppach #10 of the Cleveland Indians gets hit on the hand by a pitch in the second inning as Jorge Posada #20 of the New York Yankees catches during Game Four of the American League Division Series at Yankee Stadium on October 8, 2007 in the Bronx borough of New York City.

Followers of the off-season Yankees are left thinking about a single bench position.

I'd like to wish everyone a Happy New Year from me, too, the Francisco Cervelli to Mark's Jorge Posada.
