Posey retired at 34. That seems about the oldest you could play a guy at catcher regularly. Even in that last year, Posey was playing a lot of first base. It's a demanding position.
I'll go out on a limb and guess that Austin Hays has a good chance to bat in the lead off spot. He's good vs LHP and he was batting in the #1 spot vs LHP last season.
