whose gimmick account are you? You can be honest - the secret's out now.

lol, i only post opinions that are controversial / provide an alternative perspective. imo when everyone agrees with you, its a waste of time.

also, explain how / why posada being handicapped when catching pitches is not a huge problem. one could easily argue that if molina / anyone else is behind the plate, yankees win game 2.

One can easily argue if I'd folded that set on the turn when my opponent shoved all in, I wouldn't've lost when the flush card came that gave my opponent the winner. Oh - this is being results-oriented by the way. You don't even know if Molina catches those balls that Posada missed.

on the flip side, i can't even envision a scenario where replacing posada's bat in the lineup with molina's would cost an entire game. over the whole postseason through the WS, the posada-molina batting edge probably would add up to less than 1 "game".

Jose Molina is a lifetime .243/.279/.345 hitter. That is terrible. Playing every day would make him one of the worst players in the league. Those are TERRIBLE numbers. If you can't see the value in having a .277/.381/.479 bat in your lineup instead of Jose [censored] Molina, you don't know very much about baseball. Molina would probably cost the Yankees 1 run every 3 games in offense vs. Posada.
