Buster Posey was carted through a tunnel AT & T Park, Thursday, cast fortune covering the left ankle and no emotion on his face.
Not exactly the output the cornerstone of the giant series world champion wanted this season.
A night Scott Cousins in Florida crash him at home plate, receiver star San Francisco has been on the list of persons disabled due to a bone fracture in his left leg and three ligaments torn in his anklelikely ending his season and put a major breakthrough in the chances of the Giants repeat.
"You just do not replace a guy like Buster Posey," said giant Manager Bruce Bochy, a former receiver who was so affected by the new, he asked major League Baseball to examine changes in rules for collisions at the plate.
As spread in the clubhouse, players began to tackle what meant the injury of Posey.
The normally clear speakers near record of barbu closer Brian Wilson were surprisingly silent. Televisions have been extinguished. Person playing dominoes and card games.
Difficult to imagine that a position player more important than Posey to replace.
Marlins top Florida Scott Cousins, faces catcher Giants San Francisco Buster Posey (28) on a balloon to fly for Emilio Bonifacio during the 12th round of a game of baseball in San Francisco, Wednesday, may 25, 2011. Cousins was safe for the go ahead run and Florida won 7-6.Posey was Angels cleaning San Francisco, a team leader and the key cog behind the plate for one of the best rotations in baseball. The 2010 NL Rookie of the year was batting de.284 with four and 21 RBI, its groove in the middle of a set of 13 fair conclusions streak to move the Giants to the NL West lead.
"This is the part of baseball, I understand that, guys running into catchers.". As a receiver, I was in a small number of them. "You are in danger it", said Bochy. "I think we need to consider to change the rules here a little bit because the receiver is so vulnerable and there is so much of who are injured.". And not just a little bit, had their careers ended or shortened. And here's a guy who is very popular in baseball. Fans want to see him play.
"It is now out for some time."
An MRI confirmed that Posey had a fractured left fibula and three ligaments torn in his ankle left, trainer of giants, said Dave Groshner. Posey will seek a specialist to perform surgery.
"We have seen this thing before." We had other guys with our system, included catchers, which returned no problem, "Groshner said without giving a timetable for the return of Posey." "It is probably more than one football-type, a contact wound injury, and these guys come back."
The loss of Posey will be a huge obstacle to overcome giants.
Backup Eli Whiteside will be immediate replacement for Posey. The team has also developed player Mike Fontenot (groin strain to the left) and utility man Darren Ford (left ankle sprain) on the 15-day disabled list.
Slugger Brandon Belt and receiver Chris Stewart were recalled 2007 Fresno, and player Brandon Crawford was called in Class-A San Jose.
"I'll step to try and be Buster Posey," Whiteside said. "It is our cleanup hitter and one of the best hitters in baseball.". I will do my best and play my game, but I'm not trying to be Buster Posey. ?
Posey was wounded after San Francisco scored four runs in the ninth to force extra innings.
