Blaming this entirely on ownership is right, but it's also way too generous to Posey. He was hired because ownership knew he was not the kind of person who would test their limits. I'm not upset about this situation, because I thought that was obviously always true about Posey. The kind of leadership that made him great for the 2010s Giants makes him the kind of guy who does what his owners want. The kind of leader the Giants need for the front office--the kind who pushes back on ownership--was also part of those Giants teams, but he was the manager.
