You don't think he'd give retirement strong consideration at that point?

Do you think he would coach a la Mattingly? Seems like he loves the game enough.

No clue if he'd be interested but most reports are that he's never been a vocal leader in the clubhouse. More a lead by example type. Not sure if that would translate well to coaching.

Interesting.....the only reason I've watched the Yanks in the past is Jeter and
Matsui.......gamers all the way!.....and Posada.
