Already stories are being written about the communication between Yankees catcher Jorge Posada and pitcher A.J. Burnett on the field.

This is the problem lets not make this bigger than it already is, we know that they have had some problems working together so why keep banging your head against the wall trying to figure it out?

You failed to resign Hideki Matsui as the DH so you could persue Johnny Damon who has still not signed a contract with any team so you might as well keep that slot open to give players more rest.

Jorge is getting older every year that passes by and provides one of the stronger bats in the lineup now is your chance to have more of a steady system instead of having him catch 150 games.

I'm sorry but Nick Johnson is not going to fill any void as the everyday Designated hitter fact is he would probably end up going on and off the disabled list all year.

The Yankees are starting the 2010 season the defending World Champions obviously something clicked last year so why try to start out the new season by pointing out the flaws?

On every team in every sport there is at least one problem to deal with not everything is going to run smoothly.

Jorge Posada did everything he could do I am always the first to bash him but lets not forget how many big hits he provided in the 2009 post season.

Jorge was accepting his role in the games where he had to sit coming off the bench as one of the best pinch hitters you could ever call on.

He showed a lot as he went out and played his game ignoring all of the attention around his defensive ability.

He might be one of the worst defensive catchers I've seen and that goes for any team in any league he is truly brutal behind the plate, but he is one of the games most powerful sluggers.

You are looking at possibly one of the better offensive catchers in history when you look at J. Posada.

Then you have A.J. Burnett who came up huge in the World Series after the Yankees dropped game one he came back in game two with an outstanding pitching performance.

A.J. went head to head with Pedro Martinez out dueling him working 7 innings allowing one earned run on four hits striking out 9 in a 3-1 win.

From that point on New York ran with the ball and carried the momentum into accomplishing their goal of winning the franchise's 27th World Series Championship.

If they would have lost that game who knows who would have been the ones standing at the outcome of that Series?

You can see both A.J. Burnett and Jorge Posada have a tremendous amount of respect for one another and I'm sure the issue about their on the field communication has been dealt with by manager Joe Girardi.

Lets go into the season with our heads up because this will once again be the team to beat.
