WHY LAURA POSADA SHOULD BE THE NEXT KIM JONES

So as most Yankee fans have heard, Kimberly Jones has left the YES Network, which, of course, now means she will no longer be covering the New York Yankees. Casey wrote about Kim's leaving YES and the circumstances surrounding her departure earlier this week. You can read about that HERE.

So it got me thinking, who could replace Kimberly and still give us solid reporting and interviews she delivered each and every game? How about Laura Posada? Yup, I went there, I'm talking about Mrs. Jorge Posada herself. And why not? It's really not that crazy...think about it

Laura is not only gorgeous, she knows these players, has always been surrounded by the game and the Yankee history since Jorge has been in the Bronx. To me, she seems like a natural for television. You have to remember Kimberly Jones was learning on the job when she first started with YES Yankee games. So what better place for Laura to start? With her Yankee family!

It is well known that Laura and Jorge have gone through hell and back dealing with Jorge Jr and Craniosynostosis and they formed the Jorge Posada Foundation because of it. Well, that courage, determination, and drive that Laura possees is something you cannot teach a journalist. You either have it or you don't. Laura HAS it..

Now I know that Jorge just retired and the whole game plan now is to enjoy the family. I’m not suggesting Laura do this every single game during the season, I’m saying, maybe a handful of home games, this would also keep Jorge and the family around our Yankee Family. I think she’d be dynamic. I mean, who knows the current Yankee players better than Laura? Her interviews with players like Jeter and Mo would be awesome. It would be like 2 friends chatting with each other after the ball game. It’s an extra element perfect for broadcast television.

Look, this is my mind wondering, and yeah, it could even sound a little far-fecthed, but in Yankeeland, anything can happen. Hell, we’re bringing Lou Piniella back aren’t we? Read HERE. Hey Laura, if you happen to read this, give us an RT on Twitter, we’d love to hear what you think of our idea.
