Buster Posey was the best catcher of his generation! He was an elite offensive and defensive player, something that’s a rarity at the catcher position! He was the heart and soul of the San Francisco Giants, and was critical to the team winning 3 World Series titles in a 5 year window. Tim Lincecum, Matt Cain, and many others have praised Posey’s ability to call a game behind the plate, and there’s no doubt he elevated their pitching staff! In the midst of his prime, many believed that he would one day be a Hall of Famer. Hopefully the injuries and decision to retire early haven’t cost him his shot at Cooperstown.
