Buxton/Grossman

Trust Falvey Buxton should be batting 3rd, he needs plate apperances

Moving to 7th, seems like a reasonable move for the immediate future. Get him going and move him back.

I've never really understood the logic of moving Buxton down in the order.  What are we really accomplishing?  Taking away 1, maybe 2, at bats per game? 

 

Feeling pressure is an internal thing.  Buxton needs to learn how to handle it.  Sending him down  again just to watch him beat up on MiLB pitchers again is pointless. Unless we're planning on doing some bargain shopping in the 'Island of Misfit Baseball Players' and swap Buxton for another misfit in hope of turning that one around....

I'd rather have someone who has a chance to get on base hitting in front of Sano, and Buxton obviously isn't that at this point.

Buxton is batting 7th this afternoon.
