I think you could easily argue that Posey is the most significant player in the history of San Francisco baseball because of the 3 titles. I would hate to see any of that legacy get mixed with "What the hell is Posey thinking with that move??"

Its Mays.

But I don't worry about that stuff. Posey is a goat no matter what.

Small sample size, but last 12 games, Meckler over .500 with 4 homers(17 for 53)....Eldridge over .300 now.

Maybe I'm just confused by what you meant, but how is 17 for 53 = to .500 batting average?

Mays is the greatest player in Giants history, but not the most significant. Posey brought our first 3 titles. He was the linchpin for our success. We were losers before him, and have gone back to being losers after him. Obviously he didn't do it alone, but he was the biggest reason for the championships. In 2010 all the players said he was a massive difference maker. Huff said he was the team captain within 2 months of being called up in 2010.

I'm going to my first Giants game at Oracle since the 2013 season(!) on the 27th. I used to go a lot before I moved away back then.

Hopefully it's at least a decent game. It's the Willie Mac award ceremony night

Without Mays, you may not have been watching the SF Giants win 3 titles in that city.

Like I said, he's the greatest of all time. It's not a debate.

What happened.....

Ohtani's camp: we want $700m over 10 years but fully deferred

Farhan: we are prepared to offer you that. Just let us know.

What should have happened....

Ohtani's camp: we want $700m over 10 years but fully deferred

Farhan: we would like to offer you $1B over 10 years but fully deferred. We can have the contract drawn up in 1 hour.
