According to Carl Steward of the San Jose Mercury News, Buster Posey just released the following three-paragraph statement:
?I appreciate the continued support of Giants fans and others as I begin the process of working my way back. But in no way do I condone threats of any kind against Scott Cousins or his family.
?As I said last week, I?m not out to vilify Scott. I appreciate that he made the effort to reach out to me on the night of the play, but I was in no physical condition to talk to anyone. I have not been back with the team since that night, so I haven?t even been aware of any other messages he?s left for me. We all need to move on, so it isn?t necessary to have a conversation with him at this point.
?My only focus right now is looking forward, getting healthy and returning to catching for the Giants.?
It?s nice that Posey is calling out the nut jobs threatening Scott Cousins and his family, but I have a feeling this statement isn?t going to please everyone. After all, if he has the ability to issue a statement like this, couldn?t he just return Cousins? phone call? It?s difficult to put myself in Posey?s shoes, of course, but I feel it would go a long way towards ending this whole controversy, both privately and publicly.
