Posey progressing from season
The reigning NL Rookie of the Year catcher no longer needs a scooter,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], crutch or walking boot to make his way around AT Park. He considers himself on target to return from a devastating leg injury by the start of spring training next year.
"I'm walking around in a tennis shoe, feeling good. I think we're right on track,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]," Posey said Friday. "Keep going. Be ready to go hopefully next spring."
"It's increasing every workout, so it's just the progression of it. More and more all the time," Posey said of the intensity of working out his legs. "It's nice to have some sore muscles in my legs again."
The new father of nearly 3-week-old twins went down for the season after tearing three ligaments in his left ankle and fracturing a bone in his lower leg in a frightening home-plate collision with Florida's Scott Cousins on May 25,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
"Buster's in a good frame of mind," manager Bruce Bochy said before the opener of a key weekend series with the NL West-leading Arizona Diamondbacks. "He's enjoying walking around with no crutch and being able to do some rehab stuff. Hopefully in a month he will catch some bullpens in instructional ball."
For now,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Posey is plenty busy with baby duty while he works to get himself back in baseball form.
He and his wife, Kristen, welcomed daughter Addison and son Lee on Aug. 14. Being a sleep-deprived,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], first-time dad with constant responsibilities at home has helped him cope with not being on the field for the struggling Giants.
Posey is arguably this team's best player and he had so looked forward to his first full season in the big leagues batting cleanup for the reigning World Series champions,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
Losing him was a huge blow for San Francisco's psyche and Posey's,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
"I don't think there's any question about it. Looking forward to the birth of my children and then them being here has definitely helped with the process of not being able to play," Posey said. "Of course it puts everything in perspective,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], too. Just trying to catch up on sleep now. We had a long night last night."
The Giants miss Posey's presence behind the plate and in the middle of the batting order.
He wasn't even called up from Triple-A Fresno until late May last year,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], then batted .305 with 18 home runs and 67 RBIs in 108 games while playing catcher and some first base.
Posey hit eight of his homers after Sept,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]. 1 and helped the Giants capture their first NL West crown since 2003,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
This is the player San Francisco gave $6.2 million when he signed in August 2008, the richest deal ever for a Giants amateur.
Posey was the fifth overall draft pick that year out of Florida State and San Francisco's highest selection since Jason Grilli went fourth in 1997. The last time the Giants drafted a position player who became an All-Star for them was in 1986, when they picked Matt Williams third overall.
The Giants realized all along Posey had star potential All-Star, they hope after the '08 Atlantic Coast Conference player of the year led the NCAA in batting average (.472), on-base percentage (.572) and slugging percentage (.908) in his final college season. He also led Florida State with six saves and did not give up an earned run in eight appearances.
Posey even played all nine defensive positions in one game and hit a grand slam.
Now,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], everybody will be curious to see if he can return to the dominant player he was before that terrible day in May. For now, the Giants are encouraged though rehabs often have their setbacks.
