Buster Posey wins fourth Silver Slugger award

Buster Posey is a 2017 Silver Slugger Award winner for the fourth time in his career, receiving the honor as the best hitting catcher in the National League. While he ranked just 11th among NL catchers in home runs, he was first in OPS (min. 300 at-bats), and he lapped the field in on-base percentage, finishing at .400 for the year.

Still, take a moment, a brief moment to savor the idea of a player on the 2017 Giants winning an award with the word “slugger” in the title. It’s like my cat winning the Definitely Doesn’t Barf On Your Clothes Award.
