Dr. Jorge Posada, the Yankees’ trainer starting catcher who is out for the season with a shoulder injury, made a “CenterStage” appearance on YES this weekend. His interview, it seems, was rather incendiary. During the hour-long show, Posada said that Joba Chamberlain must stay in the bullpen to avoid future injury.
Now, I love Jorge, but come on. Posada, in the same interview, admitted that he hasn’t been around the team and hardly watches their games. In other words, he has about as much info as I do about the condition of Joba’s shoulder and the nature of his rotator cuff injury. Jorge should leave the medical assessments to Gene Monahan and the Yankee brass.
I do, however, agree with Posada in one regard. Jorge said, “Pudge, he’s my friend, but he’s going to have to go somewhere else.” Amen.
