Posey DHing again
Upside: Maybe Molina catching so much now will mean he breaks down sooner. (No injuries just soreness)
Downsides: Now that I thought of that, I remember 2009 Edgar playing while the FO knew he was "injured". So Yeah.
Also
Craig Clark, Rafael Cova, Steve Edlefsen, Eric Hacker, Osiris Matos, Clayton Tanner, Dan Turpen, and Craig Whitaker have been reassigned.

I refuse to believe the Giants would ever get rid of a Hacker.
Bochy: What’s this fancy stat here?
IT Guy: That’s how often they get on base. I do not know why you keep asking me, I am here to fix your server.

Oh yeah, what about trading away Durham?

Dammit.

The Kids: Lewis, Posey, Sandoval, Bowker, Schierholtz, Frandsen, Ishikawa, Amezaga... CHONE WAR projection= 12.7
Current Team: Rowand, Sanchez, DeRosa, Sandoval, Huff, Molina, Renteria, Schierholtz... CHONE WAR projection= 12.6
Posey is going to make the big league team and they are going to use him as a utility guy.
It is clear now that I am going to have to murder someone.

I think it’s going to work out like this:
(1) Posey makes team as UTIL guy
(2) Hits well while playing every other position but catcher
(3) Never plays catcher again

and
(4) is never a starter because he’s blocked at every position by a versatile FA signee

Botchy approves
and will double-switch him out of the game by the 5th inning

Molina is our starting catcher so should be getting the most work in for the start of the season. Also, the innings have been almost evenly split catching wise between Molina, Whiteside, and Posey anyways
YOU EAT YOUR DAMN EGGROLL
OK, Mrs. Mouthpiece
So Posey should be in minor league camp “learning how to catch”.

Well, fine then, but its not like Posey and Molina are battling for the starting catcher spot. Saying he should be in minor league camp catching is one thing, while saying that he should be catching every day in the big league camp is totally different
YOU EAT YOUR DAMN EGGROLL
What he SHOULDN’T be doing is not catching with the big league club. If his true problem is that he is not ready to catch, then he should be catching.
They can’t have it both ways. Face it, they are grooming him to be Mr. Versatility.

If Posey makes the team as a "utility guy"...
…but gets starter playing time. Would you be ok with that?
yes or no

No – he should be in AAA catching so he can learn to catch, where he’s most valuable to the team.

But with our pitching, anything close to a major league offense might be enough to win the division
Posey might be the 2nd best hitter on the team if he makes the big club.
If he caught two games a week and started at other positions 3 days a week, he could help the team WIN NOW!
Proudly adopted Aubrey Huff. You can't beat that!
That is true, and appealing, but I want this organization to think long-term, which means Posey should catch. In the alternative, they can admit they made a mistake in resigning Molina then it’s a deal.
Really, I’m not that opposed to Posey catching 2-3 games a week while playing another position because I doubt he has that much to learn as a catcher. But I am very worried the Giants will decide he can’t catch unless he does it consistently, so I vote for him starting in AAA as a catcher then replacing Molina after the Giants realize Molina isn’t that good (so, in 2011).

unless it’s starting time at catcher, NO.

Yes
It gets one of the best offensive players in the system into our lineup on a consistent basis and I have no genuine fear that he wouldn’t be the starting catcher by Opening Day of 2011, if not sooner.
My Bucardo is better than yours.
A hot August weekday, before a small crowd, when the only thing at stake is the tissue-thin difference between a thing done well and a thing done ill. Insofar as the clutch hitter is not a sportswriter's myth, it is a vulgarity, like a writer who writes only for money.

Sabean and Bochy are just saving him from all the rigors of catching and playing baseball. He’s actually too good to play baseball.
Sabean and Bochy have congealed into the girl that dated an abusive guy early in life and now doesn’t believe she deserves happiness so she wrecks her new relationships like a self-fulfilling prophecy, except in this case Sabean and Bochy did the abuse to themselves.
But seriously go ahead and teach him how to hit from the bench and how to catch from 1st, and I can teach him how to fish by bowling and how to cook by cutting a hole in a mattress and having sex with it.
