    I don't think I've seen this mentioned yet but recruiting season in the college ranks may have a lot to do with the timing.

    We all know that April games only count half as much, so it's OK, right?

    That's the only answer to this premise. He's the best CF in baseball. His bat is still good at a DH, but you lose a crap ton of value with him not in the field. The team needs to figure out how to keep him healthy, and that is not going to be done by wrapping him in bubble wrap.

    I'm willing to try the bubble wrap.  Maybe line the walls with the stuff, too.  I prefer that idea to the DH suggestion.

    I agree that TD produces enough terrible opinions (myself included) without going outside the realm, but I don't get the general umbrage over this outside opinion. Yeah, it's rather short-sighted and out there in a galaxy far, far away, but it does make you think; is there someway to keep Buxton in the game without making him wear armor? Or by making him "play" only through a video game console? Or is the article an attempt to stimulate "out-of-the-box" thinking? Little play on words there... you know, like keep Buxton in a box so he doesn't get hurt... get it?
    That's my terrible opinion for the day. I'll have a new one tomorrow. I have a quota.

    Suggesting we ease Buxton back in from this injury at DH makes sense for a few days if we aren't putting him on the IL.  It's not unlike what happens in rehab assignments where players work their way back in phases.
    Leaping from that to regular DH time is preposterous.  Randball Stu would be proud of that kind of premise.  Byron Buxton gets hurt doing pretty much everything involved with playing baseball.  If he's healthy enough to play....you play him in CF.
