Jorge Posada  
Catcher | Free Agents

Hitting
The book on Posada is that you can knock the bat out of his hands with an average major league fastball. Posada always has been a line-drive hitter who uses the entire field. He hits righthanders and lefthanders with equal consistency.

Baserunning & Defense
Posada isn't a fluid catcher, but he's not afraid to get dirty and gets the job done. His arm is accurate enough. He has below-average speed and is stiff on the basepath. He's poor on a straight steal but has some success at reading pitchers and working a delayed steal.
