I just have a sinking feeling Posada might get a 4 year contract. I agree with signing him for 2 years... but no more than that.

There's no way they find anyone better than Posada in the short term, and they'll be able carry him offensively in a couple of years. By then they'll find a slugging corner outfielder (or two) and first baseman.
Plus, I'm not convinced Posada will be a terrible offensive catcher in three or four years. Even if he loses some power he's still going to get on base more than most catchers.
Resign him!
