Buster Posey is out for about 2 months.

Posey has a broken fibula and severely strained ligaments in his left ankle and will miss at least six to eight weeks, Giants head trainer Dave Groeschner told the San Francisco Chronicle. Posey will need surgery on his ankle, Groeschner said, and it is possible a screw could be inserted.

"The fracture will be fine," said Groeschner. "The ankle injury is most concerning to us."

It's hard to imagine a more important position player than Posey to replace. The loss of Posey will be an enormous hurdle for the Giants to overcome if they want to repeat as the World Series champion. This brings up the question if they should make rules about plays on the plate. Posey's agent himself spoke with Joe Torre, leader of on-field operations for Major League Baseball, He also said he spoke with the players' union about the play. This is interesting because if NFL's players go head-to-head they get a $100,000 fine. This raises the question of whether they should put fines on these kinds of plays in baseball.
