Buster Posey added to his haul of silver bats Thursday, Madison Bumgarner got more hardware for being baseball’s best-hitting pitcher and Brandon Crawford completed a sparkling week with his first Sliver Slugger award.
Crawford earned his first Gold Glove earlier in the week, so he is the National League’s top defensive shortstop and top offensive shortstop from an awards standpoint.
He is the first Giants shortstop to get a Silver Slugger award since Rich Aurilia in 2001. Crawford’s 21 homers and 84 RBIs led all NL shortstops, and his homer total led the Giants.
