Buster Posey's appointment as the Giants' president of baseball operations was met with high expectations due to his successful playing career. Despite a rocky period where the team struggled offensively, the Giants emerged as a playoff contender, increasing fan engagement. Posey's first real test came when fans demanded action during a slump. He successfully made subtle but effective roster moves, such as designating LaMonte Wade Jr. and bringing in Dom Smith, which reinvigorated the team and demonstrated his ability to lead the organization away from past struggles.
When the Giants hit the skids and looked like they might never score more than two runs in a game again, it was a moment of concern for fans.
If anyone ever needed proof that whatever Posey seems to touch turns gold, the last week would be a perfect example of his impactful decisions.
The moves the Giants made weren't flashy but they shook up a team that had turned stagnant, and Smith and Johnson both contributed right away.
Fans were restless for Posey to do something to show the Giants were no longer in the grips of the break-even-ball philosophy.
