Byron Buxton Isn’t the Next David Ortiz
LenBarson replied to Cody Christie's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
I think this article takes the David Ortiz comparison too literally. I don't think anyone looks at Buxton and Ortiz and thinks they are similar players or would be traded/non-tendered for similar reasons. They're worried about the concept of "David Ortiz" and Buxton becoming a similar figure in MN sports folklore over the next 15 years. Injuries are always a part of any Buxton conversation and understandably so, but based on his obvious talent, I'd be surprised if he doesn't have at least 1-2 years in which he plays 145+ games and is an MVP contender. Picture him doing it for the Yankees and try not to vomit all over yourself.- 32 replies
