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.
I just don't know who replaces him at C and provides the same value. Susac is far from even remotely a given as a major league player although he's improved a ton in the minors this year.
I think it's much easier to go out at get a 3B or a LF than a catcher like Posey.
Well sure.. catchers like Buster are near impossible to find. But, there arent many 3B or impact OFs out there either. I agree that it would be better for Panda to get in shape and be the 3B and to get a top OF. I dont think there are any givens right now in what direction the team will go.
