Hmmm....
Here's an interesting story about Ivan Rodriguez and his willingness to play positions other than catcher, notably third. I know he was terrible with the Yankees last year, but his numbers were actually the same as Molina's OPS+ wise and I still think he offers more offensive upside.
I doubt the Yankees would bring him back, but it's worth a look. Girardi hasn't changed from his stance that Posada is only catching 110 games or so and we don't even know if he is up to that. Pudge would be a nice insurance policy, probably the best available one at this point, and with his willingness to play other position he could possible fill in for A-Rod.

Peter, I truly hope it doesn't come to a point where bringing Pudge back is a consideration. Like you said, he looked terrible last year, I'd much prefer to see Molina or almost anyone else.

By the way, Cano gets the Tanyon Sturtze Award for the month of March for not telling anyone that he was hurting before he took off for the WBC party. He WAS proposed to be nominated for a Pavano, but it takes something truly spectacular to even be nominated for that one so he's got to be satisfied with the Sturtzey.
