Reports suggest that Jorge Posada and The Yankees are "close" on a new contract for the 36 yr old catcher. This means that The Mets are likely to fall back to Paul Lo Duca as the Starting Catcher in 08. Posada was quoted saying..
"My first priority is the Yankees..I would like to stay with the Yankees. My heart is with the Yankees, so hopefully we can get something done."
In 2007, Posada hit .338 with 20 home runs and 90 RBIs. The Mets should Definately pass up on Posada.. there is no way in hell that Posada will duplicate his 07 stat line. The best bet for The Mets is to re-sign Lo Duca because of his emotional leadership and quite frankly, there aren't any better options. Plus, Lo Duca hit .309/4/ 21 in September.
