Saltzman Says...Buster Posey sent down after error

Breaking News: Buster Posey Sent Down.

Bruce Bochy was quoted after the game as saying 

"I don't want them...to make a mistake." said Bochy

According to unnamed sources, Bochy was reportedly furious after a game changing error by Buster Posey and said he can't have a catcher who makes mental errors "that horrible." The former backstop now manager said Chris Stewart's strong spring was enough to convince him that if Posey had a sophomore slump, they "wouldn't hesitate to make a move." For more on this story, click here.

Posey packed his bags for Fresno last night after the game.


Buster Posey's stats for the year are a .250 batting average, 0 home runs, 0 extra base hits, and twice as many strikeouts as hits.  "If that isn't a sophomore slump, I haven't seen one." said a high ranking source in the Giants organization who asked to renamed anonymous.

Saltzman Says...Breaking News: Brandon Belt makes 25 man roster

Breaking News: Belt makes the Giants!

Brandon Belt has made the Opening Day Roster. To make room on the 40 man roster as well as the 25 man roster, Travis Ishikawa was designated for assignment.  That means the Giants have 10 days to trade him or release him, and only after that decision are they allowed to offer Ishikawa a return to Fresno.  Ishikawa can refuse the demotion and become a free agent.

But today is about the next big rookie to come to China Basin.  Buster Posey lived up to the hype and built off of it.  Now, it's Belt's turn to see if the hype is warranted.
