Posada doing well after surgery

Posted by: Chad Jennings - Posted in Misc on Nov 17, 2010 Print This Post Print This Post | Email This Post Email This Post

Good looking out by good ole Sam Borden who just emailed me the latest status on Laura Posada’s Facebook page. It seems like good news for the Yankees catcher.

Update: Jorge is doing really good and has healed really well. He’ll be ready for next season!

    Oh, no. Just a week from Thanksgiving, only 3 months from ST and Jeter hasn’t signed yet. Quick…find an emergency backup.

    ——–

    Amen, brother.

    This Jeter crap is nothing but nauseating. The most overblown story of the offseason and Thanksgiving isn’t here yet.

    Hip Hip Jorge!

    Who needs beat writers when you have Laura! :wink:

    She probably has the scoop on the Jeter negotiations too.

    Oh, i agree. I’m turning on Jeter as soon as I wake up tomorrow morning. I’m going to have some pizza first.
    __________________________________________________________________

    If thats a response to my post, I never said that fans were going to turn on Jeter. I said that if this thing drags out for a long time and things get ugly, they would probably turn on him, before they turned on the Yankees FO. I don’t expect this thing to get ugly though, and I never expected it to be resolved immediately. Contract negotiations generally take time.

    Jeter is out of touch with reality. The guy is as raving an egomaniac as Lebron. Jeter thinks he’s still a top player, thinks he will always be an elite player and can’t stand the thought of leaving the team while Arod is still playing. But everyone thinks he’s so classy and humble and always puts the Yankees first. LOL…Jeter is going to have an ugly finish to his career and will all be because of his ego and greed.

    Jeter Wants Four-Year Deal From Yankees
    By Luke Adams
    November 17 at 8:00pm CST

    When Joel Sherman of the New York Post discussed Derek Jeter’s contract negotiations with the Yankees earlier today, he suggested that the length of an extension may currently be the sticking point. Wallace Matthews of ESPNNewYork hears the same thing. A source tells Matthews that Jeter and the Yankees disagree about the number of years, with the Yanks willing to offer three years and Jeter hoping for a minimum of four.

    According to Matthews’ source, the Yankees would “give Jeter more money than his play currently warrants” over three years, but are reluctant to go any longer than that. The Yankee captain would like a deal that locks him up for four seasons, and maybe more. Matthews indicates, as Sherman did, that the negotiations are unfolding like a “game of chicken.”

    Matthews reported earlier this month that the value for the Yanks’ three-year offer to Jeter would likely fall somewhere between $45MM and $60MM.

    Upton ? Upton who ? I don’t know anything about any Upton.

    Go bother somebody else.

    What a beautiful machine and work of art, MTU.

    We expanded the car talk a little this afternoon to muscle cars, after you mentioned your buddy’s GTO. Lord, those were the days of real cars. ’66 Chevelle SS, ’64 Pontiac GOAT and the ’68 Oldsmobile 442.

    Looks like Jeter wants a four-year deal. If the report is true, I think thats reasonable, thought I would prefer a three-year deal.

  16. Dylan November 17th, 2010 at 9:06 pm

    Haha I guess I’m not the only person checking MLB trade rumors every five minutes!

  18. clownthrowindown November 17th, 2010 at 9:07 pm

    GB7,

    Just because someone disagrees with you about your man-crush Jeter, it doesn’t make them a troll. Its crazy to pay him $21M and its crazy to give him over three years. No one but those who are blinded by their emotions for Jeter would think that is reasonable.

  19. West Coast Yankee Fan November 17th, 2010 at 9:07 pm

    Four years is reasonable, if true this is a HUGE advantage for Jeter. There is no way the Yankees can go to the wall and let Jeter walk on a four year deal. No way.

  20. Yank1 November 17th, 2010 at 9:08 pm

    “Keep on reading that loser Wally and ESPNY.”

    Joel Sherman reported almost the same thing this morning.

  21. GreenBeret7 November 17th, 2010 at 9:08 pm

    The last two writers that who’s word that I’d take as gospel are Sherman and Matthews. Their tendencies to exaggerate or outright lie are well known. They have zero credibility or connections to the Yankees.

    Sorry I missed the rest of that discussion.

    I guess you saw my comment about just missing out on getting up to the salt flats this year. I’m gonna make it next year for sure.

    Amazingly cool place.

  24. GreenBeret7 November 17th, 2010 at 9:11 pm

    Thanks, Trader. There’s going to be a lot of errors and strikeouts in Oakland next year. I was a bit out of touch with the goings on with baseball this past week.

    Man, could I have predicted that response. Of course these professional respected baseball journalists are liars but you, an insignificant blogger is qualified to pass judgment on them when you know absolutely nothing. What a joke you are.

    Sherman reported the CC signing (at 3 in the morning BTW), AJ signing, Tex signing, Granderson trade, Vazquez trade, NJ signing, Berkman trade, Eliand dismissal, all before anyone else.

    But yeah, he has no connections.

  28. Giuseppe Franco November 17th, 2010 at 9:14 pm

    When exactly has Wally Matthews ever been a respected baseball journalist?

  29. GreenBeret7 November 17th, 2010 at 9:14 pm

    Professional? LMAO. Respected by whom? You angel fans?

    The only thing that Matthews and sherman have ever broken is wind when they’re at each other’s houses.

    GB7…you are a babbling blog addict who is a too long on attitude and way too short on intelligent baseball analysis/discussion.

  34. LGY November 17th, 2010 at 9:22 pm

    The Yankees are nuts if they go past 4 years.

    You can always add more after the contract runs but you can’t take away.

    3 years is very generous.

    Sherman has been money with Yankee news the past 2-3 years. Like ZMAN said, he has been the one to break almost every big Yankee story.

    Don’t have much use for Matthews, but Sherman is legit.

    The salt Flats are spectaular. What a great place to run a car. It’s like an airport runway. used to love watching Craig Breedlove make his runs in the “Spirit Of America” when they showed them on Wide World Of Sports. The ultimate “Muscle Cars”.

    I wouldn’t be surprised if Sherman gets a national job soon like Heyman.

    He has been in on everything the past few years.

    I don’t see any glowing accolades for Wally Matthews.

    The guy covered boxing for years and did an okay job, but nobody cares about boxing anymore, so Matthews had to do something else.

    You should check out his old columns at Newsday covering the Yanks. They were as unreadable as Lupica’s columns.

  43. GreenBeret7 November 17th, 2010 at 9:33 pm

    MTU, that’s something that you don’t see much of any more…the races for land-speed records. Like the water-speed records, they’ve sort of faded from the public imagination. A real pity.

    MTU, Not sure if old TV shows from the early ’60s have made it that far out in the wilderness yet, but I finally located and got all three years of “The Outer Limits” and the full set of “The Time Tunnel”. Great viewing and still fun to watch.

    OL was good but I preferred the TZ with Serling. He was such a great Sci-Fi writer and he had a bizarre sense of humor which, of course, I loved.

  49. GreenBeret7 November 17th, 2010 at 9:50 pm

    I’ve started buying the 5 years of TZ and Gallery. What great stories and shocking ends those are. always that slight twist of humor at the end.

    Posada has been a great Yankee and I hope he bounces back and has a great year !
