Jorge Posada was in his first full season as a pro baseball player, transitioning from infielder to catcher while at Single-A Greensboro in 1992.
Naturally, he had heard about one of the Yankees’ top prospects, Derek Jeter, who had just been picked sixth overall in that year’s draft.
So he was curious what the 18-year-old would look like when he got promoted to Greensboro in August after Jeter played 46 games in the Gulf Coast League.
“He came up those last two weeks in ’92 and everyone was talking about this first-rounder,” Posada said by phone on Monday.
