Buster getting hot in Fresno

After never playing above A-ball at the big league level, it would make sense that the jump from San Jose to triple-A Fresno with the typical stop in Connecticut skipped would not translate to automatic success for Giants wunder-prospect Buster Posey.

And struggle Posey did. With 12 hits in his first 51 at-bats, that included just four extra-base hits (all doubles) it looked like Buster may be human after all.

But the man lauded for his defense and value to the big league club at such a critical postition, catcher, has all of the sudden found his swing.

The FSU product has 7 hits in the last 5 games, three doubles and crushed homers one and two in the last two games.

Posey has four hits, four runs, and six RBI's to go along with those longballs and looks like a great candidate to see some action in San Francisco in September even if the Giants are in the middle of a pennant race.

There is no doubt the 22-year old Posey is the catcher of the future. Bengie Molina is in a contract year.

Molina has scuffled for much of the past few months and Posey would fit perfectly into the youth movement by the Bay if he can secure the role of opening day backstop in 2010.
