Buster Posey suffered three torn ligaments and a broken left fibula in his home plate collision with the Florida Marlin's Scott Cousins. He underwent an intensive 90 minute surgery on Sunday to repair his left ankel. He had two screws inserted into his leg which will be removed in a second surgery in approximately 8-10 weeks. Posey has been ruled out for the rest of the season by the Giant's athletic trainer Dave Groeschner. Groeschner states, "It's a good prognosis. It's a long road from here. He just had a very devastating injury, had to have surgery and has a long rehab process to go. We'll see by the end of summer where he's at." The 2010 NL Rookie of the Year also had his ankel joint scoped but no damage was found yet, the ankel might have to be scoped in the future if scar tissue builds in the joint. The loss of Posey for the rest of the season was potentially devastating to the Giants, with other key players already on the disabled list. Eli Whiteside has stepped up to take the starting catchers role and is very hopeful for a great season.
