It's not, it was used in response to a triple slash reflecting 14 AB's to make a point.

 

Just to complete the snake eating it's own tail, that response was posted in response to another post using the same 14 AB's to make a different point about Park.

Not necessarily so. He may be so overmatched he gets ground into the ground mentally. Finding out you can hit AAA pitching consistently has often been valuable to hitters. Isn't that why AAA exists, after all?

Sure, it could help with confidence issues. Eventually he's going to have to make the adjustments at the mlb level though.

Buxton is an elite prospect. Therefore he will and should get a long leash to prove he can or cannot make those adjustments.

I'm not saying we can't point out that he's struggled so far, I'm just saying let's give him 200 AB's this season before we conclude he hasn't made any improvement.

And I'm usually more in defense of veteran replacement level players vs. prospects who will probably be replacement level players but have upside, but I want to see Park and Buxton keep playing.  The team's struggles aren't really their fault at this point.

Which I pointed out multiple times was to show how crazy it is to want Buxton sent down already, not to actually rip Park.

 

It's such a small sample size, what would Buxtons slash line be if he had a 4 for 4 with 2 doubles tomorrow?

It's only three innings, but maybe if Nolasco goes six and gives up one or two while the Twins continue to get shut out, it will call further attention to the folly of the Twins' long-standing organizational stance that offense is a frivolous distraction in the pursuit of a lineup of eight defensive savants.

It is weird, isn't it? Or is it perfect?

 

He definitely spends time on it.

 

Mauer doing very well so far.

Buxton's not Trout. You know why? No one's close to Trout. The sooner the comparison ends for Twins fans the better everyone will be able to judge his progress.

My point wasn't that Buxton is Trout. It was that even the best hitters in the game can struggle in their first couple hundred AB's.

The beard is weird.  The hair was perfect, at least before it turned to hat hair...

I was wrong, send them both down.

For an instant, I though Bark's had surfaced.

Stop.Freaking.Chasing pitches out of the strike zone!

Those are good pitches. It's a lot like Johan Santana used to get all those swings on pitches that were in the dirt.
