Buxton was in Minnesota today. Not sure if he has signed yet. Last I heard he was getting 6.0M for a signing bonus. Comes from a VERY reliable source.

Article: Bang For Your Buxton

I know you guys are skeptical about Buxton's power numbers. With all the spotlight on him early, he took a lot of walks. As playoff time came around. Instead of getting intentionally walked he would get pitched around and He was moved to the leadoff spot early in this high school season. He went from an RBI guy to a get on base and help the team guy. In fact he led off teh last game of the state dhampionship series with a bunt. Trust me, this kid has the power. He may not have Mark McGwire "swing for the fence" power but he is best known for his blazing speed. He will be a top of the order guy, not a big RBI producer. He is a very exciting player to watch and hopefully he can live up to his billing. I don't think he got drafted on his power ability. It remains to be seen how well this kid can play at the next level.
