Despite rumors that Jorge Posada doesn't get along with new Yankees manager Joe Girardi, Posada made a statement today saying that he has no problems with the former catcher.
“Girardi was my mentor and he always taught me the value of having a great work ethic and how it was most important to maintain the position year after year. The 2007 season was difficult and bittersweet and all I’m doing right now is evaluating everything,” he said.
Letting Posada walk would be a big mistake, and it would be especially difficult for fans if he signs with the Mets. Omar Minaya, Mets GM, recently said that Jorge is high on his list of free agents. The Yankees should throw a lot of money Posada's way and lock him up for at least four years. With Giambi's contract up after the 2008 season, and Matsui and Damon gone after 2009, Posada could sldie into the DH role after two years behind the plate. With his plate discipline and ability to hit for contact, he will make for a perfect DH at age 39.
