that's who I would have liked to see. I've also read the Giants may be interested in Brian McCann..which presumably would move Posey to 1B and Belt to LF..Getting Buster out from behind the plate seems like a good idea, his power numbers and average fell off drastically the last two months of the season..He's getting beat up back there and though I know he wants to catch, his real value to the Giants is as a hitter.
