I do think Posada is slighly overpaid, but hey, he is one of the pillar of this team. Pitchers like him and he could get streaking hot sometimes. He has been best catcher in New York for last 3 years.
As far as Bernie's decline, we know why it happened...he is frigging 37 years old and is a center fielder!!
I like to see him around and he could get sporadically hot, but you cannot count on him the way you used to. I think he will retire after his contract is over. His guitars make better music than his bats now-a-days.
Last but not the least, lemme remind Red Sox fan that they are the second highest paying ballclub and they were the one who were willing to pay the highest amount to any player (A-Rod), after Texas wanted to trade him.
