This guy should have retired two seasons ago. Everyone thought with him at DH only this season he'd be fine. The guy is just in about last place in avg, ops, slug, For those of you that dont know the story. Posada was dropped in the lineup and took himself out of the game.
Jorge Posada claimed he asked out of Saturday's lineup because of a back injury and not because he was upset about being asked to bat ninth.
We're not buying this story for a second. Earlier in the night, GM Brian Cashman clearly said that Posada was not hurt and reports from the YES Network suggest that the struggling veteran "threw a hissy fit" in Girardi's office before the game over his demotion. Now both sides are doing damage control. With Posada making $13.1 million this year, he's not going to retire and the Yankees will give him some rope.
