By rss@youtube.com (Latsports) Video from an event on August 29, 2008, at the Great Moments Room in Yankee Stadium in which Latino Sports honored NY Yankees catcher, Jorge Posada. Event also served as a "Welcome to the Bronx" for newly acquired Yankees'catcher, Ivan "Pudge Rodriguez, a future Hall of Fame player.

By Vince Mercandetti After last year’s shopping spree of arguably the top three players on the open market, mixed with the contracts recently handed out to Mariano Rivera, Alex Rodriguez and Jorge Posada (gross overpayment for past production in Posada’s case, an insane number to A-Rod after Texas set his o...

By Sam Borden The Yankees have recently shown zero inclination to do deals ahead of time with anyone. A-Rod, Jorge Posada and Mariano Rivera played out their contracts and it certainly looks like Derek Jeter will do the same (something I’m sure we’ll discuss more as the winter goes on). If Girardi is a lam...

By Vince Mercandetti As I said, Alfredo Aceves, Joba Chamberlain, Phil Hughes, Phil Coke, Damaso Marte, Mariano Rivera, Dave Robertson, Mark Teixeira, Robbie Cano, Derek Jeter, Alex Rodriguez, Jorge Posada, Nick Swisher, AJ Burnett and CC Sabathia are guaranteed to play a role on the 2010 roster. That's 15...

By Chad Jennings Without Matsui and without Johnny Damon, what does the Yankees lineup look like right now? How would you line it up, using only players under contract for next season? 1. Derek Jeter, SS 2. Nick Swisher, LF 3. Mark Teixeira, 1B 4. Alex Rodriguez, 3B 5. Jorge Posada, C 6. Robinson Cano, 2B

By Jack Doran The final Yankee dilemma: Hideki Matsui. This World Series hero and MVP also enters free agency at 35 and in possesion of balky knees. If the Yankees sign him, (and I hope they do) the DH role is then occupied, leaving aging catcher Jorge Posada behind the plate.

Damon has been a great Yankee. He has produced the exact numbers the Yankees hoped he would when they signed him to a four-year, $52 million deal before the 2006 season. But if anybody thinks that Brian Cashman is going to handle Damon the same way he handled Posada and Rivera, they’re mistake...

By Vince Mercandetti So if we could deduce: Cano, Posada, Cervelli, A-Rod, Jeter, Teixeira, Rivera, Robertson, Coke, Aceves, Hughes, Chamberlain, Sabathia, Burnett, Pettitte and Marte are probably for the 2010 roster, that leaves nine spots open.

By Tom Au The New York Yankees have a number of great homegrown players. They include shortstop Derek Jeter, pitchers Andy Pettitte and Mariano Rivera, and catcher Jorge Posada. And then suppose the Yankees won the World Series anyway. Then we could truly say that "homegrown" Yankees were the serie...

By Sam Borden FUNNY GUYS: Derek Jeter, Jorge Posada and Andy Pettitte went on David Letterman’s show last night – check it out here if you missed it – and World Series MVP Hideki Matsui made a cameo at the end of the segment, bringing out the World Series trophy.

By Chad Jennings When Jorge Posada and Jose Molina were hurt during the season, the Yankees needed Cervelli to step in and put that slow Double-A start behind him. When the eighth inning became suspect, they needed Hughes to move into a role he’d never played in his life. When Alex Rodriguez was injured, they...

By Vince Mercandetti This was a magical World Series which saw Alex Rodriguez come alive, it saw Johnny Damon, Andy Pettitte and Hideki Matsui perhaps go out on top in the Bronx, and it came the same time guys like Jeter, Posada and Rivera regained their success. You couldn't ask for better opponents, a better st...

By Vince Mercandetti For good measure, Nick Swisher and Hideki Matsui, two struggling hitters into the World Series, both homered along with a Jorge Posada double to give the Yankees their eight runs. Even a second Jason Werth long ball and a garbage time shot from Carlos Ruiz couldn’t get the Phillies close en...

By Christopher Chavez The New York Yankees are trying to get back to their previous state of baseball dominance. Yankees like Derek Jeter, Mariano Rivera, Jorge Posada, and Andy Pettitte hope to end this decade the way they started it, with a World Series Championship. Edge: Yankees Edge: Yankees Edge: Yankees

By Sam Borden —– Derek Jeter, Mariano Rivera, Andy Pettitte and Jorge Posada have been together for a long time and now the Yankees “core four” are going for ring No. 5. I looked at how important this group has been to the franchise – not just this year but overall – in a column for our comprehensive World [...]

By Matt Cullen Gone was the manager behind the dynasty and many other key components. Derek Jeter remained, so did Mariano Rivera, Jorge Posada, and a guy who came extremely close to departing in Andy Pettitte, but that's it. And then some guy named Mariano Rivera is still going strong. Go Yankees!

By Adam Bernacchio After the Angels had their *Mark Langston moment on a 3-2 count to Jorge Posada, the Yankees had bases loaded and two outs with Mark Teixeira coming to the plate. Did the Yankees not watch Game Three of the ALDS between the Angels and the Boston Red Sox? Series MVP – CC Sabathia

By Sam Borden Girardi wouldn’t commit to a lineup for Game 5 yet, but it seems likely that Jorge Posada will be on the bench again, with Jose Molina catching and Hideki Matsui at DH. If the Yankees are able to win the series out here, they’ll have nearly a week off before the World Series begins next Wednesda...

Girardi told me "it's pretty safe" to assume that Jose Molina will catch A.J. Burnett in Game 2. No word on who will DH between Jorge Posada and Hideki Matsui. Game 1 marked only the second game this season at Yankee Stadium without a home run.

By Chad Jennings Is Joba Chamberlain still a reliever for the ALCS? “As of 12:42 on Wednesday, that’s where I’m at,” Chamberlain said. “We’ll just approach it from there.” And then we’ve got Jorge Posada, who talked quite a bit about how the Yankees can limit the Angels running game. Pretty interesting stuff.

By Sam Borden QUIET LUMBER: Despite being up 2-0, the Yankees haven’t gotten much production from the vaunted lineup. Other than A-Rod and Derek Jeter, no Yankee regular is hitting over .300 in the series. Mark Teixiera and Jorge Posada have two hits in the ALDS; Nick Swisher, Melky Cabrera, Hideki Matsu...

By noreply@blogger.com (Drew Sarver) Jorge Posada thought he had Game 1 off too. Posada and CC Sabathia crossed each other up, once each according to Sabathia, which resulted in a pair of passed balls for Posada. To make matters worse, Posada lolly gagged after one of the pitches, enabling Joe Mauer to score from third base.

By Sam Borden UPDATE, 3:36 p.m.: Just something I noticed as I was researching a column for tomorrow: The last time the Yankees started a catcher other than Posada in the playoffs was Oct. 7, 2005, when John Flaherty caught Randy Johnson. How’d it work out then? Johnson allowed five runs and nine hits in thre...

By Vince Mercandetti Jorge Posada has been fined and will receive a three game suspension for his role in the brawl which broke out in the Bronx yesterday. Others were fined and Shelley Duncan will be suspended, but those logistics don't really matter. This issue is with Posada and with the team in general.

NEW YORK — Yankees star Jorge Posada and Toronto reliever Jesse Carlson got into a fight near home plate, leading to a frenzied, bench-clearing brawl during Toronto’s 10-4 victory over New York on Tuesday night.

By Vince Mercandetti Reason 14 - Derek Jeter passes Lou Gehrig for most all-time hits: Reason 12 - Damon and Teixeira will strike twice: Already on the list: Posada, Teixeira, Cano, A-Rod, Matsui, Damon and Swisher. Possibly joining this month: Derek Jeter.

By noreply@blogger.com (Drew Sarver) Jorge Posada ripped a 3-run home run into the right field in the bottom of the 8th inning last night to give the Yankees a 4-2 win over the Tampa Bay Rays. And Derek Jeter smiled. Jeter wouldn't have been happy last night had the Yankees lost on the night he tied Lou Gehrig as the all-time Yankees h...

By Nathaniel Stoltz With right-handed hitters Alex Rodriguez and Derek Jeter and switch-hitters Jorge Posada, Nick Swisher, Melky Cabrera and Mark Teixeira getting everyday at-bats, that's not too much of a surprise. So the ideal pitcher against New York is right-handed.

By Peter Abraham It would seem that Nebraska is a great place to clear your mind. Who knew? Joba Chamberlain said that getting away for four days helped him become more focused today on the mound. He was aggressive in the strike zone, more emotional and stuck to the game plan he had with Jorge Posada. You saw the r...

By Dan Morra Joe Girardi has certainly been one of the major underachievers on the Yankee team.  Offense would suffer, but perhaps Jorge Posada could provide help as a DH.  Hank and Hal Steinbrenner make suggestions, but are nowhere near as forceful or as influential as their father.

By Heartbeat Of The Bronx Jorge Posada was summoned to save the Yankees from the jaws of defeat, and he was certainly up to the task. Mariano Rivera was called on to finish off the win like he has done so many times before, and New York escaped with a much needed series split.

By Peter Abraham Derek Jeter thought it was amusing because it was Swisher. “He’s not going to stop talking about it,” the captain said. But Jorge Posada was not amused. “Nobody was laughing,” he said. “I think today was embarrassing.” Maybe so. But Swisher is hitting .450 and has 10 RBI. Maybe everybody should hav...

By Peter Abraham Here’s Joe Girardi’s postgame interview. There were mostly baseball questions (Posada, Bruney, Hughes, Melancon) but a few on A-Rod, the crowd reaction to A-Rod and his cousin.

By Peter Abraham Other news: Jorge Posada was in New York today to get his his shoulder checked. He did his throwing program at the Stadium and Cashman said he is progressing well.

By Jersey Instead, the Yankees have booted Bobby Abreu and Jason Giambi from the lineup, replacing them with Mike Cameron and Nick Swisher.
