Previewing the Yankees-Angels series position by position
Catcher
Jorge Posada and Jose Molina vs. Mike Napoli and Jeff Mathis
Jorge Posada and Jose Molina make a more formidable tandem. Jorge has great offense, and Molina has a great rapport with A.J. Burnett. Jorge, mostly known for his offense, has hit .308 against the Angels, but Jose Molina has hit only .038 against the Angels. The Yankees will only need Molina to catch Burnett.
Mike Napoli has very good power, as evidenced in his 20 home runs in 100 games started. In seven games started he has batted .500 against the Yankees. His back up, Jeff Mathis has batted only .143 against the Yankees.
Edge: Yankees. The combination of Jorge Posada and Jose Molina are too much.
