Jorge Posada Begins His Quest for 12 Million in 2007
We can all expect Jorge Posada to have more games like he did on Sunday in Anaheim.
3 for 4, 2 homeruns, 1 double, and 5 RBIs.
We all know that Jorge Posada is a threat to hit a home run every time he steps up to the plate. He is arguably the best offensive catcher in New York Yankees history.
If Jorge can only find a way to maintain consistent production over the next 6 months, the Yankees will be very happy to welcome him back for the 12 million that he is due in 2007 if he makes at least 81 starts this season.
Jorge Posada is an excellent fastball hitter. He seems to have equal pop from both sides of the plate.
Another player who has a lot of motivation to have a good season is Mike Mussina. He pitched a good game today, leading the Yankees to a 2-4 record as they get set to fly home for a 3 game stand against the Kansas City Royals.
On deck: Chien Ming Wang, Shawn Chacon, and Randy Johnson.
Chances are very good that the Yankees will be 5 and 4 by the end of their series with the Royals.
It will be interesting to see if Joe Torre starts Jorge Posada behind the plate in Randy Johnson's next start. A good game from both Jorge Posada and Randy Johnson in that game may be just the ticket to the two of them having good games together throughout 2006.

P.S. Here are my predictions for the 2006 season:
Team leader in...
Homeruns: Hideki Matsui 44
RBIs: Hideki Matsui 121
Runs: Derek Jeter 115
Batting average: Hideki Matsui .323
Steals: Johnny Damon 28
Wins: Randy Johnson 18
