[Giants]

Suffice to say that, unlike his predecessor, Posey will not dictate to Melvin lineup decisions and in-game moves.  He will give Melvin the tools he needs and let Bob make the decisions that are best left to the field manager. 

Also, I’m not sure if anyone read about Will Clark’s rant re: Zaidi and his unhealthy attachment to analytics.   Clark really went off (his vocabulary skews heavily to a word that we can’t use here).  

I’m looking forward to Posey’s balanced approach (old school/new school).  Also, his desire to create an environment in which each staff member is permitted to manage their area of responsibility without constantly looking over their shoulder will be a welcome change over the top down approach that was in play for the last six years. 

This blast of fresh air has reenergized my enthusiasm for Giants baseball.  Only four months until pitchers and catchers report…
