Byron Buxton seems to clearly be the most polarizing and wrote about player on the Minnesota Twins roster this season. After a hot September to end the 2016 campaign, Buxton’s bat has gone cold. My toddler’s swing at this point seems to make better contact than Buxton’s. For now.
If you are interested in breaking down Buxton’s bat, check out what my friend Jordan Ison wrote about a week ago here. What is worrisome is the possibility that the team might not let him Buxton figure out his bat in the majors.
Without Buxton, the expectation would have to be that the whole defensive scheme would be radically changed.
