Not one expert site said he was a long term SS, not Law, not BA, not Fangraphs. This was a pretty obvious choice, from what I read.
-
The goal is to never cut a body open if you don't have to
-
Two different topics. And we agree
-
He might not be refusing, but he's not in the *l" I'll do whatever the team needs to win" camp...
-
Rodriguez.... At some point. They can't sign a veteran and block him.... Can they? If anyone would take him, I'd deal Buxton and move on. If he'd go.. it's so hard to build around a guy who can't ever play when you have limited budgets
-
He was a fifth round pick. I don't get being this upset that it was wasted.
-
Agreed. Not a good look. The idea he can't play the OF is ridiculous also. He's not healthy enough to demand anything. Betts and Cruz are perfectly fine moving around. Maybe he should talk to Mookie
-
I started watching, realized I didn't care to. I guess I'm not as much an NFL fan as I was
-
What will that do? Other than keep one of the best players out of the game? Do you think this punishment will fix things somehow?

I mean, if he's hitting and they trust him more than Kiersey (and Buxton is out), 100% do it. But, not likely, IMO. I doubt Buxton plays vs KC.
-
Concur. I don't get how they haven't learned by now. It's better to DL a guy sooner rather than later, to have a full bench for all the games, than hope he "only misses one or two games".
-
I do think it is near certain Kiersey will field better than Martin (but I mostly blame the FO for playing Martin out of position nearly his entire time here at SS, when zero people felt he'd ever play there, zero, nada, none)

Move Varland to the bullpen already. Seriously. As for Buxton? I too am joking on the site now about not playing him until July...... But anyone posting these guys are soft is just unbelievable to me. Truly.
-
They generally have them focus on 1-2 positions....the issue is they don't always pick the right one. Zero people on the planet thought Austin Martin was a SS, and yet..... As to the OP, I don't know how anyone can be anything other than generally pleased at this point. All three have been fine to good process wise.
-
Got to actually be on the field to make a play.....It's nice to dream on Buxton, but I'm never expecting more than 50-70 healthy games a year at this point. I'd seriously consider not playing him until July next year.* *not really, but sort of. nah, well....hmmm...

I never would have guessed this was the ultimate question!
-
Ya, I regret my initial post.....as I should have read it in more detail first. My bad.
-
Agreed, not to mention his comments about fans......
-
People think a professional MLB hitter doesn't know what to do if he bats 2nd or 3rd or 7th? Like, they literally don't know their role is to get hits? My theory is managers matter much more off the field than on. That this isn't football where the coaches call plays. Does a manager matter on field? Yes. For those saying "he's average" over his tenure.....how many games would a better manager have won the year they had 1 good SP?

I take it kiersey did not play that well? -

There's a difference between being furstrated, and implying that the players are soft losers who don't care about the team.....big one.

I mean, you just agreed with me. If all goes well, he'll be in the majors for a limited time in two years....
