The giants have an excellent start to the season. For what?
Obviously, in all this, there is the Buster Posey effect. It is no coincidence that the organization tears it whenever it is not involved closely with the club and it is fine when it has your hands in the dough.
It was he who convinced Matt Chapman to stay. It was he who brought Justin Verlander. It was also he who signed Willy Adames to make him the player with the biggest contract in the history of the franchise.
The record before Adames, it belonged to… Posey, precisely.
Posey has therefore surrounded himself (notably Jeff Berry, his former agent) and he got to work. He made sure to build a beautiful team and have a vision that looks like club's beautiful years, when he played.
And the fact that Posey is in charge and has managed to connect with the guys, it helps to sell his vision.
Jeff Berry, precisely, talked about the fact that the club is not managed by mathematics (therefore the advanced stats), but by Posey and by the leadership it brings.
And on this subject, Jayson Werth, who does not have his tongue in his pocket, agrees. “F*CK maths” are the words he has used.
For the moment, it is clear that the recipe is working. After all, each evening, the giants find a different way of winning and the club is maintained in the race within the tough western division of the national.
Will it last? We'll see.
- He does not want to leave the organization of the Red Sox.
- Alek Manoah became a father.
