My Take
Buster Posey is one of those players who makes you reconsider everything you thought you knew about catching being a "supporting role." The guy out of Florida State came up to the Giants in 2010, won Rookie of the Year, then somehow came back from a brutal leg collision in 2011 to claim the NL MVP in 2012 — Comeback Player of the Year in the same breath as Most Valuable Player, which tells you everything about his mental makeup. Three World Series rings with San Francisco, a career batting average that would make most first basemen jealous, and he did it all crouching behind the plate in full gear. He retired after 2021, quietly, which felt very on-brand for him — no drama, just done. Now he's running the Giants front office, and honestly, a baseball IQ that sharp belongs in the building either way.
