LETS THROW SOME MORE WOOD ON THIS FIRE

Rob Neyer and Buster Olney of ESPN, both think the Yanks have a desparate problem at catcher. Who knows if Posada will be able to catch (throw, actually) and even if he can, how long will he hold up? Okay, valid questions. So what do these two advocates of reason and sanity in baseball, critics and disparagers of Yankee spending suggest? Why, let's go out and buy or trade for the best catcher they can. Trade two outfielders and a young pitcher for the Diamonbacks young catcher. Or one of Texas future stars. Even if you have to pick up some of the salaries of the outfielders.

Of course, if the Yanks actually did that, who would be leading the "Yanks trying to buy a pennant" crusade? That's right, Rob and Buster, the Ren and Stempy of journalism.
