Via Marc Carig, we learn that Hideki Matsui—not Jorge Posada—will DH in today’s game. For the past 2 days, there had been some debate as to whether or not Posada would DH given his numbers against Angel starter, John Lackey. Girardi’s decision to start Matsui as the DH allows Posada to come in later for Jose Molina while keeping Matsui in the lineup, simultaneously.

Not sure if I like this, but Matsui can’t catch, so if you need to late in the game you can keep them both in the lineup. Both being Matsui and Posada of course.
Agreed. If Posada started at DH and Burnett got bombed on early, it would have been a mess for Girardi.
