Posada year ends & we look towards the future.

With Posada going under the knife we look towards the future.

In the off-season the Yankees resigned Catcher Jorge Posada to a four year deal. Brian Cashman knows that Jorge is very key to the Yanks future. He is one of the best catchers in baseball and one of the Yanks MVP's.

His replacements this year have played well and both Chad and Bengie even though they love starting they know that Jorge needs to be the catcher if the Yankees want to succeed and win number 27.

Our fans demand the best from the Yankee brass. In recent years the Catcher position has been a focal point of the Yanks Minor League system. The future might not be that far away. The Charleston River Dogs the Yanks Class A club have a Catcher by the name of Jesus Montero. This young 18 year old Catcher from Venezuela is 6"4 225 pounds of raw talent. In 99 games he has belted 10 homeruns, 61 RBI slugging .453 and o yeah just batting .309.

You here all the "Experts, in the media" that believe that he will be moved because he is to big for a catcher.

Ohh how soon we forget, look towards the past to reference the future. Mike Piazza 6'3 205, Carlton Fisk 6'2 220, Johnny Bench 6'1 208, Joe Mauer 6'5 lean 225 and our beloved Posada 6'2 190. All big Catchers and if has half the career these Men did he will be fine!
