BP RADIO

You haven't heard from Buster Posey since his was the fifth name called in
the June draft. The Giants draftee remains in limbo, waiting to see if he
heads to the Giants system or back to Tallahassee for his senior season. The
Golden Spikes and Player of the Year talks with BPR about what his season was
like, the transition to catcher, and what's next for Buster and his brother
Jack. To listen in to another can't-miss podcast, surf to:
