Thompson uses an old-fashioned flip phone, and Posey does, too.

In a feature by the Bay Area News Group's Evan Webeck, the Giants' catcher revealed he intentionally switched from a more modern cell phone back to a flip phone in order to significantly limit the ways in which he could be distracted by his mobile device, an affliction he sought to avoid after seeing some of his younger teammates fall victim to theirs.

The switch didn't come without drawbacks, however.

"I heard him say that he hated it because when he has to send a text, it’s like so archaic, he has to press the button like four times to type one letter," Evan Longoria said of Posey.
