Yea I read that. I would not do that trade. Randy Johnson is only good for a couple more years.

Posada seems to be on a decline as well, offensively, although, I don't remember him having a stellar year offensively... The Yankees still don't give this guy up though, there's no one behind him...

never having a stellar year? last year he hit .281 with 30 HR and 101 RBI. Those numbers might nit look fantastic, but we need to keep in mind that he's a catcher.

yes, but hitting .281? that means he didn't hit very well when he didn't go deep... He's a solid catcher, that knows how to call a game. Add a half ways decent stick to that, and he becomes pretty important...

.281 for a catcher is great. .281 for anyone is pretty good.

he has better than a decent stick. just not this year.

7 regular catchers are batting over .300 this year... whats that if .281 is great?

I have no doubt that Posada is a great all around catcher, but I think the only thing that held him down was his offense.

the season isn't over yet

No way you make that trade. Posada is still the best catcher in baseball, IMO.

Let me re-phrase that: I'd take Posada over any catcher in baseball.

why? i'm just curious.

Because he can hit, he can play defense, he's a winner and he's still not that old. This year has been a fluke.

pudge has hit better these past two seasons. Pudge is a much better fielder. it isn't even close in that category. Pudge won the WS last year. That constitutes a winner. Lastly, posada is older. And you still think posada is better?

All you need to look at is what Pudge has done with the Tigers this year to know this guy is amazing. He is still the frontrunner for AL MVP.

Posada is older than Pudge? Wow. I thought he was younger. You know, I probably would take Pudge over Posada. I think I was just sticking up for my orginal post where I said Posada was the best catcher in baseball, but I didn't really believe it. Sorry if that doesn't make any sense. LOL :laugh:
