Giants no strangers to award season

In 2012, Posey won the National League Most Valuable Player Award. If Posey did it once, he can do it again, though he has not come close to matching that year's slash line (.336/.408/.549) or the 24 home runs and 103 RBIs he accumulated. He has, however, remained effective enough offensively to win three Silver Slugger Awards as the league's most productive catcher ('12, '14, '15).

Moreover, Posey's overall game is enhanced by his defensive excellence, exemplified by the Gold Glove Award he won last season for defensive excellence. This marked the first time he earned this distinction, and, still spry at age 30, he has the wherewithal to capture it again.
