earlier this month that he went through a learning curve, and that “you're not going to get ready to play in the big leagues until you’re in the big leagues.”
Bart will likely split time at first with Casali, the veteran who was reliable defensively and had some big hits last season as Posey’s backup. Casali, who signed a one-year, $2.6 million deal to return to the Giants, hit .210 with five home runs and 26 RBI last season in 77 games. “Bringing Curt back, it will be huge to our team,” Harris said. “He’s a great teammate and game-caller and a really tough at-bat at the plate.”Whether Bart or Casali get the majority of starts behind the plate next season, Harris doesn’t expect them to replace Posey.
“No one in our organization expects us to replace Buster Posey because that’s just a fool’s errand,” Harris said. “He’s going to be in the Hall of Fame and he deserves it. For us, we are excited about the catching core we have.”
