Playoffs

It's generally acknowledged that it goes without saying that having Jose Molina catch AJ Burnett means you hafta give up Jorge Posada's highly productive bat. And it's true, Posada IS a feared offensive player.

But in what I thought was a misprint in the Daily News yesterday but verified at Baseball-Reference.com, this season Jorge has struck out 101 times...IN ONLY 383 AT-BATS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That's incredible to me. 26% of the time, Posada doesn't even put the ball in play. What the fuck?
