Derek Jeter and Alex Rodriguez have two of the more prominent lockers in the room and for a long time Jorge Posada was said to have an important spot too right in front of the no access door essentially serving a a fence between the media and where the Yankees can go and relax. That locker now belongs to Robinson Cano. “Being...

Everyone knew that there was a pretty good chance that it was Jorge Posada‘s last, but both he and the Yankees left it kind of open ended whether he would return for another year or not and Jorge certainly made it known that he though he was capable of another year. So there was never really a goodbye. However, Yankees fans will get...

Jorge Posada and The Hall of Fame

Jorge Posada officially announced his retirement today and undoubtedly there will be a lot of talk about retiring Jorge’s number and his possible induction into the MLB Hall of Fame 5 years from now. The general consensus seems to be that his number will be retired, but that he falls short of the HOF. I agree that it probably plays out that way, but I think there is an argument...

On Jorge Posada and the Real Core Four

Sorry for not Squawking much as of late, but I have been busy with lots of real-life stuff. Anyhow, this has been arguably the quietest Yankee offseason in ages, so I haven't missed all that much.
