Buster Posey was placed on the 7-day concussion disabled list on Tuesday, following his beaning in Monday’s home opener. It’s a cautious move from an organization with plenty of concussion experience. The Giants don’t want to mess around, and I don’t blame them. “Don’t mess with brains” isn’t a saying that looks good on a t-shirt, but it’s a fine organizational philosophy. It’s an unfortunate, but prudent, move.
To take Posey’s place on the roster, the Giants promoted Tim Federowicz from Triple-A. Federowicz was a minor-league free agent, and he’s a veteran catcher who has hit for power in the minors, but struggled in brief major league trials.
