I'm confused, The minor league hitting coaches aren't effective, but the hitters hit better when they first come up because the opposing pitcher's books haven't been developed yet?
I had the impression watching him yesterday that Buxton wasn't anywhere near healthy. I think this would be confirmation. Needs a day off after ONE day in CF?
I wonder if Buxton is actually healthy. He looked slow and tentative in CF last night. There were two shallow hits that I felt pretty clearly he should have caught. Would have caught, in the past.
EDIT: And he's not in Sunday's lineup.
They're trying to get to July to trade Jackson?
And a couple others?
1. Who is trading for Jackson?
2. Who are the "couple others"?
3. Unless the Twins are out of contention, I doubt they're trading away bullpen pieces. So are you predicting that?

I realize you do not have many good options but Here's a thought: try less of your worse options.
The uh...Minnesota Women's Professional Hockey League team came back from a 2-0 deficit to win their playoff series and advance to the league championship finals.
So don't tell me Minnesota teams are cursed!!
Has a little bit lower career OPS, but actually played. More than twice the career PAs than Buxton, in 1 more year of big league time.
I'd take Span over Buxton every day. Easily.
