Dear Yorvit, you are not worth close to $5 million per year for 3 years. Your hitting, though clutch at times, was average. Your arm ain't what it used to be. Your pitch-calling was above-average however was way off during the World Series; I'll give you the benefit of the doubt though that the umps forced you to put up meatball pitches in hitters' counts. Overall most of your attributes are easily replaceable. The one thing that will be hard to replace though will be the high energy you brought and your die-hard spirit. Hopefully you showed the younger Rockies what 'it ain't over till it's over' really means and maybe the Rockies management will be smart to realize that they need an average catcher with high energy to replace you (perhaps Lo Duca) instead of a below-average, in 2007, fight-starter (Michael Barrett).
Hey, and before you go, Yorvit, could you please help Iannetta find his swing?
Thanks, good luck and good riddance.
