Saying it's not easy being a DH, Jorge Posada is still playing the part of the good soldier. He said Saturday night that his switch from behind the plate to full-time DH in 2011 "is what it is," while also playing the "whatever's best for the team" card. But the Yankees' longtime backstop also admitted later that he's keeping his mitt broken in "just in case," indicating he hasn't fully come to terms with being phased out of the position he's owned since the late '90s. "I'll catch. I'll catch. I'll catch this year," Posada said before Bernie Williams' charity dinner for the Hillside Food Outreach in New Rochelle. "I'll DH and then they're going to want me to catch one of those days. I'm keeping an open mind. I would love to catch. I'm training like I always do, and if I have to catch, I'll catch."
