POSEY HITLESS IN GRIZZLIES’ DEBUT

The much anticipated but more than likely short Fresno Grizzlies career for Giants mega prospect Buster Posey started with a 7-6 win over the Colorado Springs Sky Sox Thursday night. Posey, San Francisco’s first round draft pick last year (5th selection overall), went 0 for 4 at the plate with a sacrifice fly. He batted third and caught the entire game.

Posey will make his Chukchansi Park debut next Friday night against the Reno Aces. He batted .326 with 13 home runs and 58 RBI in 80 games for Single-A San Jose, throwing out almost 50 percent of would-be base stealers.

Posey was a California League All-Star.

POSEY’S AT-BATS:
Grounded out to shortstop in the first inning
Grounded out to third in the fourth inning
Sacrifice fly in the sixth inning (Eugenio Velez scores)
Grounded out to shortstop in the eighth inning
Flied out to center in the tenth inning
