		Yeah, I believe that Posada is the third-best catcher in Yankee history (behind Yogi and Bill Dickey), but I think he needs to have another two or three very good seasons in order to be worthy of the Hall of Fame.
		He was missing Jorge Posada's target by several feet and needed some big plays in the field to escape some serious damage early on.

	The Ballad of Jorge Posada - May 18, 2006 - The New York Sun
		This is in dramatic contrast to last year, when Posada's early-season struggles prompted a great deal of nervous chatter about how it is the fate of all catchers to suddenly and irrevocably decline in their early 30s.
		Posada endured the same skepticism, but he never got the break Jeter did.Torre and his consigliore Don Zimmer were heavily, publicly invested in Joe Girardi, the glove-only catcher they brought in over popular, hard-hitting backstop Mike Stanley.
		Though Posada could not rival them on batting average in their prime, his combination of patience and power made him a potent hitter even when his batting average was only.270 or.280.
