Bengie Molina left today's game with a tight hamstring. Is it getting close to "Buster Time"?

Not yet. Molina may start tomorrow according to the mgr. It's OK to drop Posey

99.9% buster won't be up at the earliest until they lock in another year of service. if molina is healthy all year, posey will be up in Sept.

plus, he only has 3 hr in 103 at bats in the PCL



he is a single digit hr hitter in the majors. more hype than anything for THIS year. sorry

Posey may end up with more time in the majors this year than Castro will have with the Cubs.

The only thing that is a virtual certainty is that your team name will not be next to him on any winning bid.

Posey will be up before Memorial Day or maybe early June. The Giants need his offense.

I will give my boy Mark the benefit of the doubt and assume he knows the rules regarding free agency and arbitration a bit better than his posts may indicate.

how bout you quit being a stalker and you go away

I defer to Lance, KJ, bjoak, but it appears to me that Giants GM has his head firmly up his azz.



Just read they were trying to knock around ideas to generate offense after another 1-0 defeat to Padres.



HELLO! McFLY! Even if Posey's catching skills need more work (as mgmt claim) he doesn't have to catch full-time. Just get his bat in there you geniuses.



I can't believe they gave Zito a jillion 3 yrs ago, but are worried about Buster becoming FA too soon.



Do they want to win this year?





*only fair to add I have badasss Buster on one of my teams but still, c'mon, everybody knows he becomes there 2nd best hitter the instant he arrives.

Yes, the other Buster confirmed the rumor this morning on his Twitter.



When will he be added here?

Already on my roster...he's been burnin' a hole in my bench since I drafted him ! Hopefully will be a nice hitting catcher option !

When will he be added here? Should have been drafted in all lges. My teams are 2-of-6 with Busters and waiting on 3 more Carlos Santanas.

He should have but he and Carlos Santana were undrafted in some.

2-3 wih 2 RBI already tonight !

Wow...Posey is 3-3 today with 2 doubles, making him a whopping 6-7 thus far on the season ! Already slotted at C for tomorrow !

he hits under .285 the rest of the season with single digit hr. if i had to guess, i'd go with .277 and 6hr

You said you don't watch games, where does your assessment come from? His 17 games last year? All scouts think Posey is a legit talent. If you did watch, you'd see he has above average bat speed, he'll hit for a good average at the very least, which is all that you want from a catcher. I do not understand why you've invested so much into blasting Posey. You don't like him, fair enough...I remember your scouting/predictions of Delgado 2 years ago, his bat speed shot, bad lower half, he's done...to the tune of 38 Hr's!
