Yankees fans should remember Jorge Posada’s career arc before roasting Gary Sanchez

Despite having one of the best offensive starts for a catcher — or anyone — in baseball history, Gary Sanchez carries around a target on his back when it comes to harsh criticism. It started last season when Sanchez struggled with passed balls, leading many to unfairly overlook his incredible offensive production. This season, Sanchez has struggled at the plate, not just behind it, and his recent groin injury has only caused the anti-Sanchez community to turn up the volume. Some even rejoiced at the thought of seeing Austin Romine behind the dish on a nightly basis.
