The group has a different vantage point at Oracle Park this season, thanks to the decision to knock out a wall separating two tiny booths. It’s now a spacious room (roughly 20 by 30 feet) with eight seats in the front row, three tables with raised chairs in the second row, a corner couch in the back, and seven TV monitors, mostly showing the Giants’ game, but one airing the MLB Network and another the Triple-A Sacramento game from the previous night.
The enlarged booth has a perfect view of the field; it’s spacious enough for everyone to be comfortable but intimate enough for everyone to converse.
It’s symbolic of how Posey has been open to input while creating a welcoming environment in the front office. The booth is where ideas are shared, opinions heard, and decisions made.
When Dusty Baker attends games, he’ll drop by the booth. Same with Winn, when he’s not visiting minor-league sites or the Arizona training facility. Paul Bien, who oversees analytics, is a regular but was out of town for scouting meetings. Posey’s advisers, including Bobby Evans, who lives in the city, and Florida-based Jeff Berry, always have spots in the booth. Chairman Greg Johnson and CEO Larry Baer will pop in.
“Buster’s very inclusive,” said Minasian. “He wants to solicit opinions from different points of view, and he firmly believes that makes us stronger.”
