Posada, I think, will be back behind the plate, catching.

Moving him to 1B? What about Morgan Ensberg? He will step up and produce, as he has proved so in the past. Maybe you sign a average 1B free-agent, and let him and Ensberg split the time, so Ensberg gets used to the system. I know Ensberg isn't the guy that can step up and everything will be fine, but ease him into the starting job. Isn't that why you got him in the 1st place?

But, also, ever think about the idea of extending Giambi's contract? He's gotten a better fielder, actually, and although he can only produce a little batting, his Power and strength are just what the Yankees need. They don't have alot of Home-run guys that bomb it out every day, such as Ryan Howard, David Ortiz, etc. Some players produce at the power end, but Giambi could play 1B.

Overall, you can move things around with Ensberg and Free Agency, possibly Giambi, to find a good fit. The Yankees are a smart team and they'll know what they need and when they'll need it.

Posada is going to catch for maybe two of the four years on his contract since the catcher they are grooming to replace him got taken out in the preseason he will need another year of minor league time.

1B will never be a option if the Yankees can find there way to sign Teixeira to replace Giambi (and it will cost even less!!! (maybe 5 years 98 million) so look for the final two years to be as DH.

Yes hopefully Posada will get back in form. Good clutch hit tonight and partial luck that the left fielder didnt catch it.

I would like to make a point however.
Now with Baseball not having a Salary Cap, many teams have different ideas to find a way to win. Boston and New York have been known to spend money to try and make their team better. (Dice K and all the money just to talk to him?)
Also without the Yankees, Mets, Angels, Dodgers and Red Sox. Many Many teams would not be able to support themselves. The Yankees shell out alot of money to the league. The same goes for the Cowboys and Redskins in Football... but that's kinda off topic.
The point is there are different ideas. From the Marlins and getting very young players and then letting them play to the Yankees and getting the big contract or trading for players.

If it was all the same wouldn't it be boring?
