Giants Select Buster Posey

Gerald D. "Buster" Posey, a catcher from Florida State, was selected by the San Francisco Giants in the first round of the draft. (Note: He's also a closer). "I'm extremely excited. It's one of the greatest days of my life," he tells ESPN. Whether the Giants can actually sign him is another story - he carries reportedly a $12 million price tag.

**UPDATE**
12:55 PM - ESPN's Keith Law says:

Posey is the best catcher in the draft, and he is likely to move quickly. There is very little downside to Posey. Defensively, he can play in the big leagues right now. Catching is a glaring need for the Giants in their farm system. And Posey is one of the best makeup guys in the draft.
