That doesn’t really make sense, what?
Double and 2 RBI today though, appreciate the help in bringing the focus back on him.

He finishes the year with an obp above .350 and I’ll take my words back. Until then, he’s Jayson Heyward 2.0.

There was a rumored trade of Syndergaard for Buxton I believe.

laughed at the idea of giving up buxton.

laughed at the idea of Buxton being enough to get Noah. Went on to call Buxton an “established scrub.”My .02. Buxton should not be untouchable. If you can get an Ace for him do it. If he ends up being elite and you’re “stuck” with an elite pitcher, so be it.

6 innings 4 runs is realistic.

Take this bum back. I can't stand watching him play. Cost us at least 3-4 games by his defense alone.

Took a time machine to last year today and read a lot of your guys’ baseball takes.
I like how a .350 OBP would put him in the Top 40 of MLB leaders in that category, yet if he doesn’t get there he’s a bust.
No gray area on how you feel, he’s a bust! if he doesn’t get in the Top 40 for OBP. I don’t think anyone really cares about the arbitrary lines you set to decide if someone is good or not if that’s how you measure it.

How can a guy be considered an untouchable player when he isn’t on base 35% of the time. Great players who are untouchable typically get on base 38% of the time.
He’s a very good fielder and has some intangibles but what good are they when he can’t get on base?

He’s not untouchable, I was just against including him in any deal that already had the Twins giving up Royce Lewis or Alex Kirilloff.
Javier Baez doesn't get on base 35% of the time. Or 33% for that matter. Does he fit in your Buxton/J-Hey mold?

Power hitter and average fielder who shouldn’t be untouchable either.

Not worried about Buxton's OBP, but what is frustrating is that he can't stay on the field. He's missing tonight, but hopefully this doesn't mean another stint on the IL.
And I don't like calling it the IL just yet, even though it makes sense.
