The Giants plan to play Buster Posey at first base at times next season. Posey won the 2010 NL Rookie of the Year award as a catcher, but his 2011 season ended in May after he was hurt in a bruising collision at home plate. "We'd like to get him out there as much as we can without wearing him down," manager Bruce Bochy said. "With him coming off his injury, there's a little question how much we can catch him back there, and we'll know more in spring training," he added.
