Buster Posey was a San Francisco Giant for all of his 12 seasons in the Majors, and is widely considered as the best Catcher of the 2010s.

Posey was an outstanding player at the University of Florida, where he won the 2008 Dick Howser Trophy and the Golden Spikes Award. In the 2008 Amateur Draft, the Giants chose him as the fifth overall pick. After a brief seven-game stint with San Francisco, he became their everyday catcher and won the National League Rookie of the Year award. He led the Giants to a World Series Championship that year, which was his first of three.

Posey was selected as an All-Star for the first of seven times, and helped the Giants win another World Series, with his contribution being significant. Although he suffered a fractured fibula in 2011, he made a strong comeback the following year, and became the Comeback Player of the Year while posting career-high numbers in batting average (.336), home runs (24), and RBIs (104). He was named the MVP that year, and even better, would anchor San Francisco to another World Series Championship.

Posey remained one of the best catchers in the National League, and helped the Giants win yet another World Series in 2014 (his third). He continued to hit over .300, excel in defense, and handle his pitchers well. In total, he won two Wilson Defensive Awards, one Gold Glove, and five Silver Sluggers.

Posey opted out of the 2020 season due to COVID-19, but made a successful comeback in the following year, and won his second Comeback Player of the Year award. With the introduction of All-MLB awards, he earned All-MLB 2 honors. He then surprised many by announcing his retirement after the 2021 season, which he ended with an even 1,500 hits, a batting average of .302, and 158 home runs.

Posey's Hall of Fame case lies in his positional dominance, as the overall statistics might fall short.  Anyone who was the position in a league for an extended period of time has a strong Hall of Fame case in our eyes

Brett Gardner spent his entire 14-year career in the Majors playing with the New York Yankees. He displayed impressive advanced metrics, exceptional plate discipline, and deceptive speed on the field. Gardner's role as a "glue" guy on the team made him an unsung hero to knowledgeable fans. He earned numerous accolades throughout his career, including an All-Star appearance in 2015, a Gold Glove in 2016, and a Wilson Defensive Player Award. However, his most prized achievement is his 2009 World Series Ring.

Fans of the Yankees were well aware of Gardner's talents and he amassed 1,470 Hits, 139 Home Runs, and 274 Stolen Bases with a bWAR over 40. It comes as no surprise that the Bronx team held onto him for the entirety of his career.

Asdrubal Cabrera signed with the Cleveland Indians as an Amateur Free Agent from Venezuela, and it was with the Tribe that he had his best years. He made the team in 2007, and two years later, he became a full-time starter in the infield. Cabrera's breakout year was in 2011, when he went to his first All-Star Game and had career-highs in Home Runs (25) and RBIs (92), while also winning his first and only Silver Slugger award.

Although Cabrera was an All-Star again in 2012, he entered a journeyman status, but he was still a high-quality acquisition due to his versatile defense and occasional power. He played for Washington, Tampa, New York (NL), Philadelphia, and Washington again, where he played a small role in their first World Series Championship. After brief stays in Arizona and Cincinnati, Cabrera retired with 1,763 hits and 195 home runs.

Geno Atkins, who had a dominant run at the University of Georgia, was considered small for a Defensive Tackle and fell to the fourth round in the 2010 Draft. However, this turned out to be a steal for the Cincinnati Bengals.

Atkins began his career as a bench player, but he started at Right Defensive Tackle in his second year and held that position until 2019. His quick jump off the snap was unmatched, and he established himself as an excellent edge creator. His speed was impressive, as he was often seen chasing down runners. Atkins was named to eight Pro Bowls with Cincinnati and was a First Team All-Pro in 2012 and 2015. It is worth noting that Atkins achieved all this without much support in the Jungle.

After the 2019 Season, Atkins was named to the All-Decade Team, but he underwent major shoulder surgery and was only able to play eight games in 2020, recording only one tackle. Unfortunately, this ended his career in the NFL, which had been a very successful one, with 75.5 sacks, 100 tackles for loss, and 384 combined tackles.
