Ahhhh Buster Posey... poor young man. My favorite catcher with a fine fne swing. I really hope this injury does not have a long term career affect.

Yes, what a break. I hope he recovers well, too- but it looks like this could impact his play forever. He seems like a smart kid, though. And all those guys have to think about life after baseball- but he is only in his second year.

He is really missed!

Saw the video of the collision that caused Buster Posey to break his leg. Looked awful -- and with a little too much intent. MLB really needs to establish a guideline with homeplate slides.

I agree. Posey refused to make negative comments about it but there has been quite a few comments about it being intentional. I hope not. Yup- might be a good idea for MLB to take a look at this in terms of guidelines. They came up with some concerning pitchers hitting batters after some obvious intentional throws.

Sometimes I think about the 5 pro players get (all sports) and I think yikes- but injuries can halt a career very early for some and this is how they make a living. Plus it isn't a career that one can do for 30-40 years like others.
