I don't blame Buxton for being angry or the Twins for making a business decision. I would rather focus on the potential upside for both parties. As I recall, when this came up in an earlier thread a lot of people came to the view that it would be good for everyone if Buxton used his anger to fuel improved performance, especially at the plate. It seems to me that his batting performance improved greatly this year. His OBS of .827 was by far the best of his career -- but he had only 271 ABs. I think that Buxton has the tools to be be a huge star, but only if he can reduce his time on the DL. Is there any other star player, past or present, who has crashed into outfield walls harder and/or more often than Byron? Next year I would like to see an angry Buxton playing in at least 150 games and, after that, a long term contract. But if Buxton is not going to commit to being more careful with walls, I wonder if it might be better to trade him before his next collision. And I sure wish that someone would work with Buxton on his bunting skills. With his speed, he would be scary if he could bunt more effectively.
