Here are some interesting numbers: the Yankees are 7-5 since catcher Jorge Posada got his calf injury on May 3rd: 7-1 with backup Francisco Cervelli behind the plate and 0-4 with Posada catching. That can't be entirely coincidencidental.
Posada is simply getting old. He's won four World Series, so he's obviously a good catcher (or was a good catcher), but his skills have declined a little with age. Plus, the starting pitchers love Cervelli's enthusiasm and confidence behind the plate. Maybe Joe Girardi should consider making Cervelli the unofficial starting catcher for the Yankees.
