Buster Posey...worth a pickup?

Postby seansinclair0077 » Mon Mar 29, 2010 11:03 am

Hey, just wondering what is going on with Buster Posey? Is he starting the year with SF, or is he starting in the minors and expecting a callup similar to Weiters last year? Just wondering if this kid is worth a pickup. I already have McCann, however if Posey does well then I have 2 quality catchers and one as trade bait. I'm in the first year of a new keeper and we keep 5. Posey just seems attractive because we had an auction draft so to draft and maybe keep a catcher who I picked up off the WW would be a great value heading into next year's draft.

Not sure what the Giants will be doing on opening day, but I'd bet that Posey will be playing close to every day no later than May 1. I've read that he can play first or third competently if need be, and the Giants will need his bat in the lineup.

Definitely worth a flier.

It depends on the type of league, but everything I'm looking at points to Posey starting in AAA. They want him to work on his receiving. If Huff or Panda or Molina get hurt or are ineffective then he could get a call up sooner than later. He will still probably be up by mid-season.

Help with mine?
