We heard this last month, but we’re hearing it again: If Jorge Posada isn’t hitting by the All-Star break, he’s gone. Here’s how Ian O’Connor put it in his column at ESPN New York this morning:
That wasn’t a “might,” that was a “will,” suggesting that O’Connor is getting this on decent authority. And that “milestone” reference, of course, refers to Derek Jeter’s 3000th hit.
So I guess that means that Posada must really be rooting for Jeter to struggle, huh?
