The Fresno Grizzlies' Web site has confirmed that Buster Posey, a former top pick of the San Francisco Giants, has been promoted to join the team, skipping Double-A Connecticut.

The Fresno Bee is reporting that Posey will be with the team Thursday when they begin a road trip in Colorado Springs.

In his first year at A-level San Jose, Posey hit .326, with 23 doubles and 13 home runs.

Buster was ranked the number two prospect in the San Francisco organization by Baseball America, and the 19th overall prospect in the minors by MLB.com.

Posey joins Steve Holm and Nestor Rojas on the Grizzlies' roster and it's unknown whether he will start immediately.
