Going to miss Buster for sure. I dont think he will make the HOF but he will go down as the greatest Giants catcher ever. Hard to believe how time flies. Seems like yesterday that he was a rookie leading the team to their first WS title in SF.

lol you honestly don't think he's making the HOF?? I think he's a lock. Best catcher of his era. Elite at every aspect of the position. MVP. Key factor in 3 World Series titles. World class human being. I can't imagine a scenario where he isn't elected.

Wow.... Shocking. Now not trading Bart makes perfect sense. Crazy. One of the GOAT Giants.

GOAT Bay Sports figures as well.

I think Buster Posey will make the Hall of Fame. However, if you get a group of voters who are overly focused on statistics, it may take him a while. Considering his accomplishments and awards/accolades, he should get in. But theres always a chance people look at his stats and vote no.

IMO certain players define a generation, and are already in the voters heads as a HOF type guy. Posey was THE guy for 3 WS title teams, and a perennial All-Star at C. He was the box the baseball fan kind of automatically checked on the All-Star ballot for NL catcher without really looking into the numbers.

I think when his name hits the ballot in 5 years the voters will remember "3 rings, MVP, All-Star regular", and the last memory of him was being that guy in 2021. He ended as good as he started. I don't think they will feel a ton of need to dig into the numbers and talk themselves out of it. He feels like a no-brainer legacy type guy where the numbers wont need to be a tiebreaker.

I still remember when I was at work watching that playoff game on the radio vs the Reds when he hit that bomb and made Latos throw a hissy fit. Awesome.

I get that you think that. I think that too. All I am saying is not everyone thinks that way.

I just dont think he is a lock and seriously doubt he makes it in his first year. Too many voters go by stats and years played. Do I think he should? Of course. But I wouldnt bet a lot on it

Basically a 10 year career. A lot of voters will judge that too. Thats why one of my all time favorite non-Giants, Andruw Jones, is not a Hall of Famer.
