Buxton being out of the OF half the year creates a ton of issues. You'd need a pitcher in AAA that can pitch when Green is hurt, that player would likely be a huge step down. I'd rather have a guy that hasn't been hurt, and might be likely to stay healthier, who isn't as good a pitcher. Like Hancock. Predictably and ease of planning have real value. But....I totally understand why people like this idea, and I would be happier with this than trading for mediocre rentals.
