I was surprised when the Yankees didn't offer him arbitration. Dunno what Cashman was thinking. At least we've got Miggy Cairo back, he is an excellent utility infielder who has some pop with the bat and decent wheels.
Actually, I think the *worst* offseason loss is actually John Flaherty, who oftentimes looked better at the catcher position than Posada did...
