I think the chain of command at catcher will be Posada, then Cervelli, then Montero unless they move Montero to DH. I like Nick Johnson, don't get me wrong, but I'd rather see some new blood there.

The only guy he will make it hard on (I said "hard on") will be Romine.
Funny thing is that, if I recall correctly, when he was first called up last year, it was strictly as a "need". A catcher who can catch but no bat (think he was hitting under .200).
His auto rookie cards have BLOWN UP (he only has a small handfull) as both his Goudey and Spectrum look to be tipping $60 each.

Maybe hes a mix but he speaks Spanish fluently and has an accent.
Dads Italian and he played on the Italian team in the 2009 WBC.

I'm a big Yankee fan.
That being said, he is nowhere near the top catcher. His BABIP is like over .400, so him keeping it up is nowhere likely. He is hitting a lot of singles. He is nowhere near a roadblock for Jesus. He will always have a place to play due to his glove, but ultimate the bat of Montero would reign supreme, whether it be at C or DH.

Cervelli is one of the better defensive catchers, and this year, he is coming up about as clutch as possible.
He's everything you want in a backup catcher, and more. Good Speed, great average, CLUTCH, and as Sox fans say "he calls a good game" :lol:
lets not go nuts here,im a yankee fan as well, hes good and as previously said montero is not to be scared. Montero has potential to be a great starting cather, cervelli is at best a good starting catcher but i feel he is better off as a fill in as he is a very good option.

small sample size. He is a quality backup at best.
However he turns out to be, from Jose Molina to Joe Mauer, this proves one thing AGAIN, investing in big market prospects (or even low low level ones) can make you big money because of the fan base.
If he or Darnell McDonald were doing "their thing" on the Pirates or Brewers, the hobby wouldnt even notice. If Casey McGehee was on the Yanks, Mets or Sox, his autos would sell for three to five times more than they are now.

I like him a ton, but I might have to sell my Sterling Black Refractor that I paid $13 for.
