This Could Be A Problem

Via LoHud:

"Joe Girardi said he does not expect Russell Martin to be behind the plate for Saturday’s spring opener.

Martin’s hip is fine, but his knee is still stiff and the Yankees don’t want to risk a setback. They still expect him to be 100 percent at some point this spring, they’re just moving slowly."

Great.  A starting catcher who can't catch.  He's not 100% healthy right now so they don't want to risk him playing the toughest position in terms of maintaining physical health yet.  But once he reaches that 100% level, then it's all smooth sailing and he won't suffer any setbacks after he starts playing the position every day.  Have I got that right?  Maybe it's time to rethink those CAIRO projections for Martin.

Should I be concerned about this yet?
