An Important Year For Jorge Posada's Family

Since joining the Bomber's major league club in 1997, Jorge Posada has made just over 41 million dollars in salary.

His current contract states that if he starts behind the plate a minimum of 81 times this coming season, he is guaranteed another full year in 2007 for 12 million dollars.

Catchers typically begin a sharp decline in their early to mid 30s. So at 34 turning 35 in August of 2006, Posada's current contract will most likely be his last chance to make serious dollars.

Look for Posada to have a strong first half of the season to ensure that he starts enough games to get that 12 million.

He seems like a good guy, so I'm rooting for him to get it.
