Hunter Pence: "There's no better baseball mind" than Buster Posey

Giants legend and current broadcaster and analyst Hunter Pence joins Willard and Dibs to break down the Giants' decision to replace Farhan Zaidi with Buster Posey as the team's new President of Baseball Operations.

Hunter Pence is the hyped version of what a lot of fans think. We love OUR GUYS. We don't mind close games or losing sometimes. We want to win & lose with OUR GUYS. Don't bring people just to get rid of them a month later. Invest & grow & bond. Folks forget when the Dodgers spent all that money but the Giants still were in the World Series or in the playoffs.

Bingo. Championship teams always need a mercenary or two. Guys like Cody Ross, Pat the Bat, Aubrey Huff, Freddy Sanchez. But at the end of the day, the dynasty was built around Buster, Bumgarner, Cain, Lincecum, Pablo, and Romo. We had those guys first and then built around them. Hopefully they can build around guys like Webb and Ramos now.

Pence calling out zaidi is exactly what this city needs

[@davelandsman4768]

It's a GREAT day in Giants baseball!!!

[@davelandsman4768]

Pence said what we all thought. Players can't stand Farhan.

[@TheNinergeek]

The hire of Buster just makes total sense. The day he announced he was moving back to the Bay area the writing was on the Wall. The Giants had this in motion all along. Am i crazy?

[@theb3654]

Thank god get that moneyball bs outta here

[@gamingntoys6196]

Pence is a smart dude. Love his attitude and how he thinks

[@thatstheway2429]

I started following him on Instagram a year ago and dude looks like he loves life as much as baseball. I think a lot of athletes struggle with purpose and identify after retiring, but he seems to just be really happy.

[@deemaalyfromcali5220]

Unsung hero of Giants' baseball history. He'll be back in the Dugout eventually.

[@Rancanfish]

I hadn't watched a Giants game since they cut out the best Manager / motivator ever. Maybe the product will be watchable again.

[@sandi5276]

NO DOUBT - the GIANTS are now BACK, in the new Buster Posey intelligence and passion. FOREVER GIANT is real.

[@hansfeld5233]

I do appreciate what he's saying about giving guys some time to play. Also there are so many times I can't believe they left someone in way, way too long. Casilla comes to mind, did they really need to keep him losing it over and over?

[@ChrisMDavis-zf7ft]

I think pence is on the right track with rotation and positional players.

[@corpo24axisallies44]

I think our boy Pence is hitting the bong to much lol 😂 Love the guy though

[@davelandsman4768]

Fence said what we all thought. Players can't stand Farhan.

[@sugawp559]

Where the hell are the videos of your football talk???

[@user-jv9qz2bu1r]

it didn't click: Soler did not hit for months, Estrada never showed up, Flores tanked, Doval imploded, Snell came out-of-shape.

[@feefop9858]

To your point, look at these guys.....B level players at best (not Snell when he's good). These guys are great if you want complimentary players, but if they are taking on front line roles, you are lucky to be .500. You need another masher to compliment Ramos. Pitching and defense is not the problem, they are on par with the Dodgers and Padres. It's the hitting that's the issue.

[@user-jv9qz2bu1r]

@@feefop9858 agreed. B level and aging, Wade is a crappy fielder and he lost his pop he has to go. Yaz? That is closer call - esp if he will cot. team over $10 Million.

[@timmc8444]

Lets see him get Snell to resign that will meansomething

[@VictorMendoza-rg6ul]

World Series without clutch hitting? I don’t think so Hunter Pence.

[@tytratar2114]

San Francisco giants 2025 World Series champions!

[@hansfeld5233]

They're gonna start the odd years?
