Jorge Posada might be done; refuses to bat ninth

Jorge Posada's tenure with the New York Yankees might be close to over according to Fox Sports' Ken Rosenthal.

Rosenthal reported during the broadcast of Saturday night's Yankees/Red Sox game that Posada pulled himself out of the lineup when he learned that he was batting ninth in the order.

Numerous reports say that the catcher turned DH felt insulted by the batting lineup and asked Joe Girardi to remove him from the lineup totally.

Posada has struggled all year hitting .167 and has show next to no life in his bat.

on Fox Sports, Rosenthal speculated that the Yankees could call up Jesus Montero if Posada continues to refuse to play in Girardi's lineup. The Yankees in turn could either release Posada, or he could retire.
