        yes, I'm sure that Posey will keep demanding a fastball down the middle in an 0-2 count - shikantaza 2010-01-24 17:15:11 (153 views)
        
        no...wouldn't do that.....but he doesn't know the hitters as well as Molina does - The Dude 2010-01-24 18:37:11 (147 views)
        
        I'm sure there is benefit to having a catcher out there who knows the hitters. - shikantaza 2010-01-24 18:47:31 (148 views)

        hmmm... doesn't seem to indicate some significant detriment - shikantaza 2010-01-25 10:28:10 (122 views)
        
        i didn't check to see how much experience those catchers had at the position - nuschler 2010-01-25 12:27:18 (130 views)

        maybe they should consider Madbum's arbitration elgibility as well - LG 2010-01-25 15:08:59 (138 views)
        
        i'm sure they are. - nuschler 2010-01-25 15:27:16 (108 views)
      - The Giants asked Bumgarner to reduce the velocity of his fastball - Hawk_941 2010-01-24 13:41:51 (178 views)
        
        sure... but if that's a new technique for him, it's all the more reason - shikantaza 2010-01-24 13:57:45 (150 views)

  - posey isnt ready to call a mlb game, he needs more minor league innings - FaTaL Dizzle 2010-01-23 23:40:12 (221 views)
    - MadBum doesn't need more innings? - shikantaza 2010-01-24 00:34:24 (181 views)
  - It's definitely a possibility. Maybe a higher ceiling, but - Hawk_941 2010-01-23 13:36:22 (205 views)
