Giants to give Buster Posey looks on infield
Buster Posey - C - San Francisco Giants
Feb. 5, 2010 - 5:45 PM ET

The Giants have considered giving catching prospect Buster Posey a look at a variety of infield positions this spring.

The Giants still view Posey as their future starting catcher, but he's blocked this year by Bengie Molina and a little versatility would only help his long-term value. Posey, who turns 23 in late March, batted .325/.416/.531 last season with 18 homers and 80 RBI between Single-A San Jose and Triple-A Fresno. He's likely to begin the 2010 season with Fresno.
