Well, Posada is good at the most important ability for a hitter...getting on base. For his career he is at .375 which is just sick for a catcher. Throw in 20+ homers and plenty of doubles the last four years, and you have a fine player. The only thing holding him back is playing time. The Yankees idiotic love for veteran leader Joe Girardi cost him at least three years of full-time play, perhaps more. He won't, and shouldn't, get credit for that missed time, but he has performed on a Hall of Fame level for five of the past six seasons.
