The San Francisco Giants They continue to take victories at will in an unexpected way still, being in the highest position on two blunderbuss as it is expected to be of the San Diego Padres and what have been the Los Angeles Dodgers, but there are three players within the Giants roster that for more than the years in MLB, They are still an important part of that team, and that are nothing more and nothing less than the triplet of Brandon belt Y Crawford Y Buster posey, a fundamental hat trick in the 2010, 12 and 14 championships.
While Brandon belt Y Crawford (of the same name) spend their season 11 in MLB, Y Buster posey his 12th (he missed 2020) – all these seasons of each one together with the San Francisco Giants-– These three players have proven to remain current figures in the future plans of the California team, a hat-trick who have been the greatest players at bat on the entire team, starting single file from Crawford, passing through Posey all the way to Belt.

Starting by Brandon crawford, he could go to free agency at the end of the current campaign of MLB, although what he currently does with his wood are more than reasons for the Giants hurry not to let him go, which became the shortstop with the most games played alongside San Francisco in 2021. Crawford currently leads Giants in home runs (12), RBIs (44), batting percentage (.244), and on-base percentage (.330); while in 56 games started at shortstop he has committed four errors, 145 assists, 66 outs made, 24 double-kills; combining for a fielding average of 0.981 and a reach factor of 3.78.
