What matters to veterans is the total money. If he can't get a 2/15 type deal he could easily accept 1/13. Although if Posada is having trouble catching that wouldn't necessarily be a bad thing Exactly. What matters to veterans is the total money.

Bill Bavasi doesn't run this team anymore. Also if we put Wash on waivers teams will take him. We don't need to deal him tonight.

There is no batter alive who is assumed to "tattoo" any pitcher alive. Baseball is far too difficult for such assumptions.

Its 13 mil. If Boras doesn't see a huge market for him, he might tell Pudge to take the arbitration then the Yankees would have a ton of money tied up in catchers next year. Jorge 13M, Pudge 13M, Molina 2M. That would be 28M in catchers. I wouldn’t be so sure that Pudge wouldn’t accept arbitration. Its 13 mil.

Alex Rodriguez is below Michael Young, Miguel Tejada, Robinson Cano, Derek Jeter, and Mike Lowell. I suppose the first four can be justified somewhat (not to me, but still) by the scarcity of middle infielders but there is no way that Mike Lowell was a better player than Alex Rodriguez over the 2006 and 2007 seasons. I'm thinking batting average plays a large role in these rankings which makes Ivan Rodriguez a shoo-in for Type A status after the season.

This might sound crazy, but I wouldn't be surprised if Jorge was playing mostly 1b next year. That still doesn't mean that Pudge will be the catcher, but you never know.
