I'm not sure that helps him hit breaking balls

The breaking pitches to Buxton that I remember, I want to be laid off, not swung at.

Edited for this astute point.

Sano is who he is. Meanwhile, Buxton is going to revert to the two hottest months of his career?

Buxton's K-rate in the minors was 22%. I really think his extreme contact issues in the majors have stemmed from a harsh learning curve, whereas Sano just has a swing & approach that are conducive to strikeouts. 

 

That's not to say Buxton won't strike out a lot. I made clear in item #1 that I think he will. Long-term, I don't see him as an historic whiff machine like Sano.

Taylor, Trevor 1, or Trevor 2?
