Giants showed a lot right here by giving the kid his due 3 years before he was up for Free Agency.

They are basically parlaying Zito's salary for the absolute fan favorite and the MVP of the National League. They basically compensated him for services rendered and made sure the last few years of his deal when he's in his supposed "prime" are contained at a manageable number... if they let him hit FA, no guarantee he's with the Giants long term

Nice try on that comparison to Mauer, but Posey was instrumental in 2 world serie titles...

I got to tip my cap to Larry Baer and ownership...Lew Wolff on the other hand... FML

So we're not gonna act like the Giants' pitching won them those titles? Posey can hit... but $167 mil worth to a catcher? Dude is 26 right now.

When he converts over to 1B at some point, he's NOT a Pujols/Fielder kinda guy.

But sure, whatever you say. :manny:

:rudy: Bengie Molina had that same staff and the Giants didn't even make the playoffs. Buster is the reason they won those 2 titles.

doesnt he have 3 years of club control left? he was gonna cake in arbitration anyways. this isnt that big of a commitment if you look at it that way, altho still risky for a catcher
