Jorge Back Behind the Plate

After enduring most of last year watching a cast of catchers trying to fill the shoes of Jorge Posada, it was surely a welcome sight to see Jorge back behind the plate Sunday against the Twins. His road to recovery from shoulder surgery seems to be right on track. Posada looked good in his four innings of catching duty although no Twins player attempted a steal while he was on the field. That is when we will find out just how close Posada is to being back to 100%. The Yankees sorely missed Posada’s bat in the lineup and his veteran presence behind home plate. Jorge ability to stay healthy will be the X-Factor once again this year, especially with the absence of Alex Rodriguez for the first month and a half of the season.
