Jorge Signed!!!
Breaking news from the Daily News:
THANK GOODNESS!!! The one of the "old" trinity (Mo, Po, Pet) we can't replace has signed for FOUR MORE YEARS!
Jorge Posada, the 36-year-old free agent catcher, will remain a Yankee, sources familiar with the negotiations told the Daily News Monday night. After being schmoozed by Mets general manager Omar Minaya Monday afternoon during a lengthy lunch at Le Cirque, Posada and his agents finally received the offer from the Yankees they had been hoping for all along. The Yankees offered Posada a four-year, $52 million contract - the same deal they gave both Johnny Damon and Hideki Matsui two years ago - to remain in pinstripes. The deal will become official pending a physicial and final contract language being ironed out. Lets hear a big hip and a hip!

good call
now, at worst we eat the last two years of the contract. if we lost jorge, the 2008 and 2009 would be tough. i think we made the right call.

Yes
Right now we would be WITHOUT a clue as to what we would do without him. We can worry about year 4 when it gets here. Hopefully we have someone who can fill in.

I agree
To me he was the most important re-signing because there was NO other options for a catcher. Jose Molina? Good backup, not an everyday and not a Jorge. Jorge's never been the best onfield manager (he's no Girardi) but he's still outstanding for his age and position.
His conditioning is amazing and I believe he's holding up so well because he works very hard to keep himself in shape.
Now if Girardi can tell him to stop trying to steal bases, he can be even better.

You know
I don't know if he'd be good enough offensively or defensively if he had to shoulder the load of 140+ games every year.
