    Jorge Posada would like to play another season; he's just not sure someone will give him the chance.The Yankees' longtime catcher-turned-designated hitter has struggled most of the year, even causing a stir by taking himself out of the lineup at one point. He had recently lost his job as the regular DH, but Posada made a spot start Saturday at Tampa Bay and hit a grand slam while driving in six runs.Yankees manager Joe Girardi said he planned to start Posada on Sunday, but the series finale against the Rays was rained out. So he put Posada in the eighth spot in the order Monday night against Kansas City, where he went 1-for-2 with a walk in the Yankees' 7-4 victory."The week that he kind of had off he continued to do his work, and his cage work, and that's what it is," Girardi said, referring to the six days between when he benched Posada and his game against Tampa Bay.
