Posey told not to be hero;GIANTS;Catcher under orders from Bochy: Don’t block the plate this season

It is not a hint, or a suggestion, or a plea, but a directorder: Manager Bruce Bochy has told catcher Buster Posey not toblock the plate this season. "I'll take this out of Buster's hands," Bochy said after Giants pitchers and catchers,including Posey, finished their first formal workout of springtraining Sunday. "As a manager, that's my job. I certainly don'twant people to think he's backing off on his own. It's somethingwe'll work on with him this spring." Posey was a full participant in a workout he long anticipatedafter the May 25 home-plate collision with Florida outfielder ScottCousins resulted in a broken leg and ligament damage that requiredmultiple surgeries to repair.
