What do you think it would take to get Salty from Texas? Eric Duncan & Marquez enough/too much?

  That would get you laughed out of the room.

    So what would be equal value?

Or Teagarden if they’re higher on Salty?

I think that would be an overreaction right now. Posada’s going to miss a few games, and then, he’s back to being our catcher. He just signed a long-term deal, and the Yanks aren’t about to bring in someone else to catch quite yet.

iirc, Cashman recommended against giving Jorge 4 years. how many more times over the next 4 years is he going to strain something?

  i agreed w/ cashman that 4 years was too long. there’s a good chance he’ll be an anchor in year 4, and possibly in year 3. this injury has me a bit concerned, b/c anything lingering could hurt both his hitting and throwing.

  down the road i don’t think you can just stick him at 1b, either, b/c if he can’t catch he’d be a statue over there (a la eddie murray with the mets).

  he’ll be dh in years 3-4, i bet, hopefully grooming his replacement by year 3.
