I know people talk about diminished value if Posey isn't behind the plate, but the longer Buster is behind the plate the more wear-and-tear he'll experience...and that will definitely diminish his value. So it's more about picking your poison. A veteran like Carlos Ruiz will be a free agent in 2015, which is about the same time Andrew Susac should be ready to make the 25-man roster. I say pair Susac with Ruiz (or someone like him) behind the plate and move Buster to 3rd in 2015.

I think it will all come down to how Panda dedicates himself and how convinced the Giants are that he will stay in shape and produce. If they decide to move him or not sign him then it makes sense to put Posey at 3rd. If they do sign Panda then I could see the Giants playing with the notion of Buster in LF.

Problem is I don't trust the Panda long term. The Panda will certainly get in the shape of his life going into next season given it is his contract year. Once the 5 or 6 year big guaranteed contract is secured the odds are the Panda will get lazy again.

Exactly. Can't decide if Garcia is trolling or if he's obtuse.

You have no idea what he will be doing down the road. First base will be out with Belt coming on and the Giants may want to protect their best hitter from injury and ear and tear. It isnt like other teams havent moved catchers to other spots. I think 3B or LF could be an option depending again what they decide to do with Sandoval. Ideally, Sandoval gets in shape, the Giants get an impact LF, and Posey stays at C for the next few years. No given however.
