Yankees catcher Jorge Posada had a prickly relationship with pitcher A.J. Burnett last season, but he can't wait to work with the right-hander in 2010. "I get up when he pitches," Posada said. "My body raises up the way it raised when I caught Roger Clemens, when I caught guys like that. A.J. is that special. "Last year I really got up when he pitched. You can't be passive back there. His stuff is so good, he's electrifying. It's a real challenge, but it's fun. It's unfortunate what happened last season, but I'm looking forward to catching him again. I really am." The Yankees made no effort to re-sign Jose Molina, despite his effectiveness with Burnett. |
