Buxton will probably develop slowly, we waste a bunch of team controlled years, he'll get good for about 2 years and then he leaves. It's the Twins way.
All we can do is read the glowing prospect reports guys like you post and then watch the results not match up. Hopefully he will be better next time (he could hardly be worse).
They should make is so that if a reliever comes in with, say a man on first and he lets that runner score, he gets charges with .75 of a run. If the man is on second, .5 and so on.
I know this doesn't solve any of the Twins problems but I thought I'd throw some numbers out there to show that other teams have some problems too. Danny Santana has a a higher OPS .645 than: Matt Duffy .629 Jason Heyward .611 Justin Upton .589 Mark Teixeira .578 Prince Fielder .562 Kendrys Morales .567 Not to mention the contracts of most of those guys. 1st basemen with big contracts Mauer OPS .728 Pujols OPS .704 Votto OPS .697 Ricky Nolasco's FIP 3.87 is better than: Felix Hernandez 4.05 Max Sherzer 4.25 Cole Hamels 4.44 Sonny Gray 5.21 Adam Wainwright 4.10 Justin Verlander 4.01 Dallas Keuchel 4.04
So what? He had control problems in spring training, he had control problems in AAA and he had control problems in the majors. He needs to get that figured out.
It's up to 53% now. Look, he needs to go down, the sooner the better. He doesn't have a clue up there, he's just guessing. I don't care how good he is in the field, you can't have that kind of black whole in an offense that's struggling.
