Yorvit Torrealba?

Why was this ever a possibility?

I'm not quite sure what Omar was thinking with this one and I'm glad that it fell through. Let's hope it's a dead issue now. Paul LoDuca hits better and throws runners out more consistently than Torrealba. So what if he opens his mouth a little bit? God forbid someone speaks up a little bit or has an opinion.

Was he wrong to chastise his teammates for not speaking to reporters? In my opinion, this depends. If the first time he complained about it was in front of the press, he was wrong. If he did it privately first with his teammates then no, he wasn't wrong. Can you really fault him if this is the case? The press does tend to go to him and David Wright all the time. I'm not going to get into what has been discussed to death on the internet, but if the shoe fits.

Come on Omar, let's get Paulie back in uniform. Now that he's your third choice, it's probably going to be a bit more difficult, especially since you've probably insulted him now. What other catchers are out there? There's nothing wrong with a platoon of LoDuca and Castro. Our problem has not been catching, defense or offense. It's been pitching! Are you paying attention Omar?

Go give Rivera the fourth year that the Steinbrenners allegedly said no to tonight. That should solidify the pen rather quickly. It's not like you spent the dough on Posada or A-Rod...
