Watching the A's game right now and it's obvious that Posada is done behind the plate. If his inability to prevent wild pitches or passed balls wasn't enough, now he can't even reach second base on steal attempts. It's only a matter of time before the entire league knows that anyone can run at anytime.
I'm not sure how his shoulder will respond to off season surgery, but if it's not close to 100% it's time to look elsewhere. With Yadier Molina firmly planted at C in St. Louis perhaps the Yankees can inquire about Bryan Anderson. If we're selling maybe they'd want Mussina or Pettitte?
Tie game!
Update: Win Expectancy Finder added to the side bar. In extras the home team wins 65.7% of the time.
Update 2: Added some really fun PitchFX tools too. You have to check out Joba Chamberlain's start today. Fastball got faster as the game wore on. It looks like he got squeezed by the ump too. Jebus, have they sucked this year or what?
Update: Jose Molina is the balls.

I would say that the whole league already knows that Posada can't throw.
And since he is signed to a four year contract with nowhere to go, I would suspect that the yankees will start playing him at First. With Matsui the likely DH, Posada may be their starting First Basemen next year, and that means they won't go after Texiera.
I'm a broken record on that one, see Concerned Pt. 1
