I'm tired of being told that judging Buxton this early is wrong/bad/evil, as if the last 2 years didn't happen and we are just knee jerk loser fans. And yes, that's what is being said.
It is a good story. I had posted it in the "national publications" thread also, but this is a better idea. It's hard not to root for someone that lives his values, no matter what those values are.
Of course, we know that hitters are trying to hit "up" on the ball, and higher pitches inhibit that. Bert is rather stuck on this point, and has been forever.
I'm actually good with giving him a month or two in AAA, but the "he has to catch everyday" argument falls apart, if you think about Castro starting next year also.
