Mark Feinsand had a great story in the Daily News today about Posada’s arm. In what could be the biggest Yankee news of the Spring (maybe even bigger than A-Rod’s injury, if you think about it), manager Joe Girardi said that Jorge’s arm strength, “nearly resembled regular-season form Thursday night.”
Girardi went on to gush that, “When he threw it, I went, ‘wow.’ That’s the expression I used when I looked at Tony (Pena). He said he felt great, and that was really positive.” He concluded by saying that everything with the valuable catcher’s recovery is exactly on schedule and there are no shoulder issues whatsoever. I don’t know about you, but that kind of news psyches me up. Getting the real Jorge Posada back behind the plate is incredibly important.

Agreed- this is just as important as the A-Rod stuff, if not more. If he can catch, Matsui can DH, and the lineup gets a lot stronger. The difference between Hideki and Molina is huge.

Exactly, and with A-Rod out the bottom of the lineup will be Ransom, Molina and Gardner.
Which is a great time to hit the fridge.
