Best Current Young Bay Area Pro Athlete

I would like for you to put aside whether your favorite sport is basketball (crzy), baseball (john), or football (well, many of us) and think about this before you answer. What does each player mean to the team/franchise? Which team/franchise would lose more if said player was traded (hypothetically, no need to argue why the player would/wouldn't be traded) Importance of the position they play. Any other factors you can think of that would play into this debate Now, GO! (Oh, and please do not be persuaded by Buster's current hit streak, think long term, not current production)

Buster Posey, and it's not even close. Dude's got a legit shot at being the game's best catcher at some point.

Valrod is already the best catcher ever.

This is really a close race, but I think it's Posey, Crabtree, and then Curry. In that order. Posey has been one of the best players in all of his sport since the all star break.

Lincecum isn't considered young anymore, neither is Willis.
