I'm fine with this, he's already my favorite Giant since Will Clark.

On a side note, 9 for $167M looks like a steal compared to what Verlander is getting extended for. You have an everyday player, a catcher, who is the reigning MVP making an average of $18.5M a year or you have a Cy Young pitcher who pitches every 5 games making $25.3M a year? I'll take Posey thank you.
