Comments on: Optimism for Posada http://yankees.lhblogs.com/2008/04/29/optimism-for-posada/ A Yankees Blog by Journal News beat writer Peter Abraham Mon, 6 Oct 2008 22:40:00 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=wordpress-mu-1.2.5 By: trisha http://yankees.lhblogs.com/2008/04/29/optimism-for-posada/#comment-331015 trisha Tue, 29 Apr 2008 20:57:28 +0000 http://yankees.lhblogs.com/2008/04/29/optimism-for-posada/#comment-331015 This one goes under the rubric of "today is the tomorrow you worried about yesterday," or why it is better to conserve your energy than to fret unnecessarily! All that wasted energy about which catcher to sign, which catcher to trade for, which players to trade away for which catcher, etc. etc. etc. Blah blah blah. Blah blah blah. See now if you took a chapter from my book, you would have just kicked back and waited to see what was going to happen! And if you took the chapter after that one, you would just let the Yankees figure it all out, no matter the outcome!!! I may not do many things well in life, but I am a pro when it comes to not worrying about. And geeze Louise, life works out in spite of my lack of intervention... :D This one goes under the rubric of “today is the tomorrow you worried about yesterday,” or why it is better to conserve your energy than to fret unnecessarily!

So get used to playing 1B and DH. His bat is still valuable, this year included, so he needs to stay fresh. Of course, a month out will keep him fresh as a daisy, but I doubt the Yanks are going to go with a 39 or 40 year old starting catcher down the line. And I agree it's about time for Cano to get off the interstate at least. Seems like every time I've seen him this year, he's grounded out to the right side. Go Franchise!

I understand and appreciate the desire to stay at the position but if it is hurting the team then he needs to move as winning is the objective. The same goes for Jeter at Short.

Are you a doctor? You have a strange fascination with the Yankee injuries and you speak as if you are some kind of expert on the subject. “even dr. andrews is only guessing what’s wrong.”
