Comments on: Stewart on the way to backup Molina http://yankees.lhblogs.com/2008/04/27/stewart-on-the-way-to-backup-molina/ A New York Yankees blog by Chad Jennings and the staff of The Journal News Fri, 10 Feb 2012 17:05:18 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Eric http://yankees.lhblogs.com/2008/04/27/stewart-on-the-way-to-backup-molina/comment-page-5/#comment-328854 Eric Mon, 28 Apr 2008 15:24:10 +0000 http://yankees.lhblogs.com/2008/04/27/stewart-on-the-way-to-backup-molina/#comment-328854 Helno: "And the fact that no team had signed him (Stewart) into spring training doenst say much for him." -- Helno- Do some more research. Stewart was released from the Rangers at the end of Spring Training and became a free agent, signing with the Yanks days later. At least try to get your facts straight before you judge a guy. From what I've seen, the guys got a great arm and calls a good game. Threw out Sizemore twice in one game with the White Sox. Helno:

He can still hit, but his defensive skills are diminished and has one of the worst throwing arms of any catcher around. I'd take a shot with Damian Miller though. I say no to Piazza.

Interesting how Posada - who didn't know how serious the injury is - is now being talked about never returning behind the plate. Isn't that quite a jump? Think for one minute before you start down a path like that. If he can't throw from Home to Second, why do you think a move to First would help him out? He still needs to throw sometimes, plus it means move movement. This "chicken little" reactionary stuff from some Yankee fans is what gives all Yankee fans a bad name. Wow.

We have been so successful that we have become lazy and arrogant you refuse to admit we made a horrid mistake signing posada for another 4 years. We need to go out like and make the moves other teams make to put themselves in a position to win.
