1B/DH FA
Sun 8/7/11 6:49 PM

Yankees manager Joe Girardi told Jorge Posada Sunday that Posada's at-bats could diminish. Posada had already been in a platoon at DH, but now Girardi appears to want both Eduardo Nunez and Eric Chavez in the lineup against right-handed pitching. "We're going to see how this works," Girardi said. "We're going to try some different things. We'll see how this works, and I told Jorge, 'You're still going to be a big part of this, and we're going to need you. We're just going to do some different things.'" Posada is batting just .230 with nine homers and 31 RBI through 317 plate appearances. Clearly New York is searching for an upgrade over a .681 OPS at the DH spot.
