Jorge Posada: he is a Hall of Fame? [Poll]: Jorge Posada, he announced his retirement Tuesday after 17 years in the major leagues, all with the Yankees. "The New York 40-year-old catcher has won five World Series, was an all-star five times and finished with a batting average of 273, 275 career. home runs and RBI 1,065.

It's all very impressive, and certainly he is going to go as one of the Yankees greats of all time. But he is a Hall of Fame?

There are 16 Captors enshrined in Cooperstown. Posada-who also 1,664 hits, 900 runs scored, a percentage on the basis of percentage and 374 474-is statistically rather than average those guys.

But that can be taken two ways--it is true that Posada did not dominate any particular category, but surely holds the right among the best that ever played the position.

Has not won the Golden Gloves, and his highest finish in MVP voting were thirds in 2003 and sixth in 2007. As a point of comparison, Hall of Fame catcher Johnny Bench won 10 Golden Gloves and two MVP.

But there is much to be said for those five World Series titles, including four during a stretch of five years from 1996 to 2000 and the role that Posada played on those teams. And the fact that he played for so long and always wore a Yankees uniform – these are the kinds of things statistics, but not necessarily reveal, certainly, voters must consider.
