You know once McCann gets back Gattis gets reduced to part timer.
Also, Gattis is 2 for his last 19, he was a flash in the pan for two weeks, .391 down to .261, will continue to nose dive to the .240's or so.
He's got the attention of all MLB pitchers after his flash start, they are getting him out regularly all week, and will continue to do so.
Plus he's a crappy OBA guy, barely over .300 on base percentage.

Posey is a proven .310 hitter in the bigs.
I know he's frustrating owners because he's hitting .217, he's not going to wind up .220, even if he winds up at .280 by the break, which I think he will, that means he'll hit .320 between then and now.

Ridiculous to trade a MVP catcher for a AA catcher who was hot for 2 weeks and will never get that hot this season again. Not even close.

If I owned Gattis, and I was offered Posey for him straight up, I'd pull the trigger on that deal 101 times out of 100
