41-year old switch-hitting C/DH Jorge Posada decided to call it a career yesterday. He played in 115 games last year for the Yankees and he was 81 for 344 (.235 avg, .714 OPS) with 34 runs scored, 14 homers and 44 RBIs. Posada played in 1,829 games in his 17 years with the Yankees and he was 1,664 of 6,092 (.273 avg, .848 OPS) with 900 runs scored, 275 homers, 1,065 RBIs and 20 stolen bases. Posada finishes his career #9 in games played in Yankees’ history as he played in 1,829 games. He also finished #8 in homers (275), #7 in doubles (379) and #7 in walks (936) in Yankees’ history. Posada went to 5 All-Star Games and he also won 5 Silver Slugger Awards in his career. Posada played in 125 games in 15 post-seasons for the Yankees and he was 103 of 416 (.248 avg, .745 OPS) with 53 runs scored, 11 homers, 42 RBIs and 3 stolen bases. Posada was starting to slow down and I think he picked the perfect time to hang up the cleats. It will be interesting to see if he gets into Baseball’s Hall of Fame down the road. Even if he doesn’t get into the Hall of Fame, he was one of the best catchers in Yankees’ history.
