Stoking The Fire: Blog 5 – The Giants Should Move Posey To 1B, Belt To LF – And Sign Ruiz
Posted by Jonathan Hacohen

Buster Posey is one of the best players in the game of baseball pure and simple. The 2010 NL Rookie Of The Year is the leader of the Giants offense and game caller for the pitching staff. In 2013, he had down year in respect to his incredible 2013 season. Posey still slashed .294/.371/.821 The two time champion signed a contract extension that will see him make $164 MIL from 2013 – 2021. In this article, I explain why I think the team has to move the Slugger to 1B. The 26 Year Old has a career slash of .308/.377/.864.

The Giants are at a crossroads in their nucleus. When healthy and at optimum levels, the Giants can hang with any team in the MLB – as shown by taking home 2 out of the last 4 World Series Titles.
But here is the problem. This club needs two Starting Pitchers, potentially an OF, a Utility Infielder, meanwhile the franchise must address their long term goals.
The Twins were smart enough to make Joe Mauer a permanent 1B – and it is time for the San Francisco Giants to do the same with Buster Posey.
