With Molina on board, Posey's 2010 value will be limited. He could make his way to the majors, but it is hard to project as to when the promotion would occur. For that reason, he can't be relied on in 2010. In keeper league, he is a must grab. He has the potential to be the game's best catcher not named Joe Mauer within a few seasons. .280-25-5-25-3 in 200 at bats

Positives / Upside	Posey is one of the best prospects in baseball, and the Giants surefire catcher of the future. In two stops in the minor last season Posey hit .325 with 80 runs, 18 homeruns, 84 RBI, and 6 stolen bases in just 422 at bats. He will start the season in the minors, but it's highly unlikely that the Giants will be able to keep him there all season. When he does get the call, he will have a huge impact.
Negatives / Downside	He has nowhere to play. Posey's value to a monster hit when the Giants resigned Bengie Molina, all but assuring that he would start the season in the minors. As long as Molina continues to be an asset to the Giants line-up, Posey will have to play the waiting game.
Recommendation	Buy at cost
Draft Position	363
