Look at the hauls of prospects traded for SP's like Gio, Cahill & Latos. Pineda is about as good as any of em with 5 years of control and we got him plus another potentially great arm for one DH and Hector Noesi. Steal. PSN - Bigbobbs87

Watching Jorge's press conference earlier, it really hit me that sometime in the future we won't have Mo and DJ around. I don't know what life is like with anyone other than Mo as THEE closer. @$@! man. ♔KL...Veni, Vidi, Vici...IQ♔ Last Edited By: iLLoQuent aka DSK 01/24/12 7:56 PM. Edited 1 time.

I blame Carmelo and the Knicks. Before the Knicks got a couple of good players that thread wasn't moving like how it is now. TeamYankees NEW YORK GIANTS MIAMI HEAT UM ALUMNI

Really hate that Mariano Rivera and Jorge Posada won't take the field again, especially Mariano. Hell, I miss seeing Bernie Williams take the field. Bernie, Jorge, Mariano, Jeter… weird seeing that core bow out one by one. my eBay:2001 AJ 1 BLK/RED (sz 11.5),OG AJ 13 BLK/BLU low(sz 10.5) 4L 8O 15S16 T23 !42 L. A. A N G E L S, L. A.

All i read is wehen a reporter asked about Giradi but he really didnt say anything bad.. http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/baseball/yankees/tensions-linger-ny-yankees-jorge-posada-farewell-press-conference-article-1.1011445 After reading this line though "Indeed, as much as Posada claimed to be at peace with his decision, you could see the wounds from last year haven’t healed. “Being demoted from Day 1, I never got the chance to fight for my job,” he said. “That’s probably the toughest thing as a human being. You want to be able to do your job.” I felt bad.. And can understand why hes still somewhat bitter.. But at the sametime... It was his time GOLDEN GOPHER HOCKEY M-I-N-N-E-S-O-T-A!

Posada is one of only five catchers all-time with 1,500 hits, 350 doubles, 275 homers and 1,000 RBIs; Johnny Bench, Gary Carter, Carlton Fisk and Ivan Rodriguez are the other four. Posada ends his career as the first catcher since Bench to play 17 consecutive seasons with the same team, according to the Elias Sports Bureau. Of all the catchers in the Hall of Fame, only Yogi Berra has better numbers in all three major categories (average, homers and RBIs). Fisk, for example, had 376 homers, but his .269 average was worse than Posada's. There are currently 13 catchers in the Hall of Fame, with Mike Piazza on the ballot next year. When you evaluate Posada along those lines, it's easier to justify a vote for him. His career on-base percentage, .374, is higher than that of seven of the 10 catchers elected to the Hall, including Bench, Berra, Cochrane, Lombardi, Gabby Hartnett and Roy Campanella. His slugging percentage, .474, is higher than Carter's, Fisk's and Lombardi's. Only Berra, Campanella (career .500 slugging percentage), Cochrane and Dickey have him beat for OPS. And his 246 home runs as a catcher compare favorably with Berra, who hit 248 and played two more seasons. I don't think he'll get voted in. More of a Veteran's Committee vote. Personally, Hall of very good for me. PSN - Bigbobbs87

He was one of the greatest catchers of his era, and one of the best Puerto Rican players to ever play the game. He was a great teammate, is a great friend and human being, and will always be a great Yankee. I was honored to take the field with him every day for so many years, and I cherish all the memories we have together, topped off by those World Series championships. Frankly, I can’t believe that ‘Jorgito’ is actually announcing his retirement before I do. Seriously, I wish him, Laura, and the kids happiness and success in their future. He will be missed by the Yankees family, all of his teammates, coaches, and most of all, the great Yankee fans.” - Bernie Williams That's crazy Bernie still hasn't officially retired. What's he waiting for?
