While none of these players will actually win ROY, they’ll all play a role in the team’s success this season. The competition in the playoffs (if they’re in them) will be much tougher than the schedule so far. Frankly, I’m more concerned about Buxton being an everyday player.

What Might Buxton's Future Production Look Like?
GopherJeff replied to Ted Schwerzler 's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
Buxton's future performance should be expected to be similar to his past performance, which has been highly affected by injuries. There's no reason to expect him to remain less injury-prone. He's 27 now - pretty much in the peak performance period for most MLB hitters. Of course, there are exceptions - but as hitters near and age past 30, we typically see slight annual declines. Buxton's injury-tendancy might accelerate his decline. IF he stays healthy and plays 80-90% of the time, he could be an significant impact player/All Star. And he will definitely make the Twins a better team if he plays that much. Buxton is an exciting player and, if he's playing regularly, will be a draw for fans. Even if the Twins are mediocre, he will be fun to watch - if he's on the field and in the batter's box.- 17 replies

Me too! I've said "there's another former Twin" more that I would have imagined (although they're everywhere)

It is good to see Rosario playing the hero role with his new team. While I'm happy for him, it's hard for me to root for Atlanta if for no other reason than their revolting and offensive "tomahawk chop." Hard to believe they're still doing that.
