Yankees Won't Allow Jorge Posada To Play in World Baseball Classic
Jorge Posada's agent, Seth Levinson, actually gave a courtesy call to the Yankees management team to let them know that Jorge was planning on participating in the Spring World Baseball Classic.
Jorge wanted to represent Puerto Rico.
Concerned about the extra work load that all MLB catchers endure over the course of a long season, the Yankees told MLB that they would not allow Jorge to participate.
Comments by Joshua:
I think the Yankees made a good decision. Jorge usually starts each season off on a tear, only to slow down in the summer and early fall. Last year, he didn't even get off to a good start, turning in a mediocre season compared to his previous few years in pinstripes.
If Jorge can get plenty of rest and one or two games off each week, there's no reason why he can't return to all star form.
Have you ever taken a close look at Posada's forearms? With the exception of Sheffield, Posada has the strongest looking forearms on the entire Yankees roster.
He used to be a second baseman before Yankees management switched him to catcher while he was in the minor leagues.
Good man, good player.
Just needs to get lots of rest to turn in a good season.
