My response to the end of the Farhan Zaidi era was to be more critical of the next guy, but then the next guy wound up being Buster Posey. Fans are ready for Buster Posey to lower egg prices fix the San Francisco Giants by any process he comes up with and so being skeptical or critical of a franchise icon — even one with no experience in his new position — makes me look like a jerk*.
With that in mind, I want to take something that happened recently and use it to fashion a lens through which we might see the offseason.
