I literally can't deal with this right now
Giants had an option for him and were, by all accounts, interested in signing him to a multi-year extension. He was never going to change teams.Can you figuratively deal with it now?
Cant blame a guy who does not want to change teams and would rather call it a career.
He wasn't going anywhere so that had nothing to do with itCan you figuratively deal with it now?

Buster is definitely classy enough to let them know once he decided. Just sad, but god speed. The thing is, the money is so big now that guys can retire in their prime and be set for life. That only became a thing in the last 20 years or so.Rod Brooks said a few minutes ago, and it makes a lot of sense, that the Giants probably knew this was coming as far back as when Craw signed his extension. They probably knew this was coming in spring training, actually.
I seriously doubt he goes into big-time coaching. Maybe at the high school level, but that is as high as he goes, I suspect. He strikes me as the kind of guy who wants a low key life with his family, and now that he has enough money to live the high life for multiple generations, he has no incentive to NOT do that.My favorite catcher ever and one of my 5 most favorite players ever. He had a great career and I love all he did for the Giants making them from chumps to Champs. He is also one of the best pitch callers I have ever seen next to Jason Veritek. I hope he goes into managing. I would love to see him one day lead the Giants as a manager to more championships. I just hope he spends time with his family first. Family is always the most important thing.
I guarantee he makes the Hall of Fame. Maybe not first ballot but that wouldn't surprise me.You called it @calsnowskier . Still, I'm in shock. I thought he'd be around for another season or two. He went out on top. Had a great season and great career. I doubt he makes the HOF, though.
I think he is a bit borderline but he does have a lot of hardware to back his case.I guarantee he makes the Hall of Fame. Maybe not first ballot but that wouldn't surprise me.
If a player like Buster doesn't get in they should just burn the place down. It's the hall of FAME, not hall of great counting stats. He was basically Derek Jeter but didn't play as long (and better defensively). If Harold Baines and Kirby Puckett are in, Posey will be too (and I love Harold)I think he is a bit borderline but he does have a lot of hardware to back his case.

I hope you are right. I'd like to see him in the HOF.If a player like Buster doesn't get in they should just burn the place down. It's the hall of FAME, not hall of great counting stats.

Writers and all the rest love him, he's in
I'm 100% certainI hope you are right. I'd like to see him in the HOF.
