Thomas Neumann of ESPN.com wroe a really good article on why so many are so high on Byron Buxton. The emphasis is the tools and the work ethic, but also on character. 

 

Very well done article.

That was a really nice article. His high character just adds an extra level to me rooting for him to be a great player.

 

The comments on espn were (as to be expected) mostly bashing the author to have the gall to compare him to Mike Trout.

Thanks for sharing. Great article. Why did I just waste five minutes of my life reading the comments, though?

Going for a Trout comparison just begs to be ridiculed. I'm fine with anointing Buxton as the next Willie Mays and leaving it at that.
