Buster Posey Interview
Here’s the whole interview:
“I want to say how appreciative and grateful I am to all my teammates, fans of the Giants organization and everyone for all their support. I’m just talking to family and friends, and I’m hearing from so many people.”
Q: How much pain are you in?
Posey: “Yeah. Yeah, I’m pretty uncomfortable, it’s tough to get from place...

MLB Trade Rumors: Ivan Rodriguez A Trade Option...
May 27, 2011 - The 2011 MLB Trade Deadline is still two solid months away, but as injuries occur and needs arise, we can expect some trades to start happening in the coming weeks. The first big injury of the season that needs immediate plugging is catcher for the San Fransisco Giants, after Buster Posey hurt his left ankle the other night and limped off the field. According to an early report,...
Bittersweet Return -- Brandon Belt →
The first people I see are Buster and his wife, Kristen. They had been in the clubhouse consulting with the Giants’ medical staff. I said hello but I’m not sure they even heard me. They seemed like they were in a fog, like they were still stunned by what happened. Buster will be missed in so many ways that it’s almost indescribable. He’s not just a great player but he’s a great person and has...

Posey may be out for year, but prognosis is good
Whether Buster Posey can return to the Giants’ active roster this season remains questionable at best. What’s certain is this: The Giants will not downplay the significance of losing a catcher who became the National League’s Rookie of the Year in 2010 while helping the franchise win its first World Series title since moving to San Francisco.
Posey sustained a fractured...

Point to them.
For example -
Miggy does this:
And gets the point from Huff:
The point from Vogelsong:
Heck, even Miggy does it:
So next time someone does something nice for you, point to them. It’s like saying, “hey you. Yes you. You are awesome. I like you. Thank you.”

Giants could target Ivan Rodriguez after losing...
While he’s exceeded expectations as the backup for Bengie Molina and later Buster Posey these last three years, Eli Whiteside is no one’s idea of a full-time catcher. That means the Giants are likely going to have to look elsewhere after losing Posey for the season. They may first turn their eyes to D.C.
Getting phased out by youngster Wilson Ramos, the Nationals’ Ivan Rodriguez is believed to...

Now the Giants are terming it a fractured bone “in his lower left leg.” Depending on your definition of leg, that could include the ankle. Although at the moment it hardly seems to matter. Why? Because the Giants are now confirming that Posey is out for the year.
Some players, like Tim Lincecum, get the “Franchise” tag because they symbolize...

Posey’s agent, Jeff Berry, said Thursday morning he is going to reach out to Joe Torre, leader of on-field operations for Major League Baseball, and raise the idea of changing the rules regarding plays at the plate.
Over time, it is has become accepted practice for catchers to block home plate, and for baserunners to launch themselves into catchers.
“You leave players way too...

Buster Posey Injury: CSN Bay Area Reporting Broken...
The Giants have yet to make it official, but CSN Bay Area’s Amy Gutierrez just tweeted an unofficial update about Buster Posey’s injury during Wednesday night’s Giants-Marlins game. According to Gutierrez, the x-ray and MRI are indicating Posey has a broken leg and ligament damage. If that’s the case, it would seem that his 2011 season is finished and the extent of the...

Buster Posey: broken leg and torn ligaments;...
As I watched the Buster Posey play this morning I thought “man, he’s gonna have a broken leg. Or maybe some torn ligaments.” Of course those things aren’t mutually-exclusive, which is something we learned from CSN Bay Area’s Amy Gutierrez moments ago: Posey has a broken leg and torn ligaments. As everyone has been saying all morning: not good. It’s hard to see how his season isn’t over.
In...

Sounds like Brandon Belt is coming back today, although this is totally not the way I wanted to see him come back.
