Four runners tried to steal second on Jorge Posada and he threw out three of them. He said his shoulder feels 100 percent now and that those throws have given him great confidence.
Posada said he needed to slow down his throwing mechanics after starting the game with a poor throw. This is obviously excellent news for the Yankees.
Posada also praised how Sabathia holds runners by using a slide step delivery and being quick to the plate. CC said he will be conscious of doing all be can to help his catcher.
I'm still skeptical. I'll believe Jorge's shoulder can handle a season when I see it. But we have to have his bat in the lineup to be a playoff team.
There is no other option.
On the other hand, it'll be nice to have a pitcher besides Pettitte who bothers holding base-runners.

this news is certainly promising
but throwing out MLers is tougher than minor leaguers. i’ll withhold judgment at this point.
