His efforts behind the plate alone merits serious thought. He got the best out of the pitchers and called a great game. An on-field manager (Bochy taught him well). Combined with his offensive numbers, he should be in The Hall IMO.

Retirement: not surprised and almost expected. He's a smart cookie. Leaves at the top of his game with his health, one would assume, still relatively in tact, a young family and piles of dough.

Huge shoes for Farhan Zaidi to fill. Is Joey Bart ready? Might Zaidi pursue free agent Yan Gomes?
