Baseball’s Savior

By the end of last season, Randy Johnson was using John Flaherty as his every day catcher, and the results were impressive.  Randy Johnson finsihed the season 12-2 with Flaherty behind the plate and a pedestrian 5-6 with Posada.  Of course this took the bat out of the hands of one of the better hitter (although Posada did go through pretty much a season long slump of sorts, he was still a step up from Flaherty).  And now Flaherty’s gone.

So Johnson and Posada are making a concerted effort to get back on the right track as spring training kicks off.  Just in case though, Kelly Stinnett is the new back up catcher, and he played with Johnson in Arizona.
