He later played in the Cleveland Indians (2000), Los Angeles Dodgers (2001), Nashville Sounds (2002), New York Yankees (2003) and Colorado Rockies (2003) systems.

Overall, Post hit .272/.367/.383 with 46 home runs, 377 RBI and 103 steals in 987 games over 12 seasons. At Triple-A, he hit .272/.357/.394 with 32 home runs, 214 RBI and 44 steals in 568 games. He had a good eye at the plate, finishing with 444 walks to just 442 strikeouts.
