I'm not sure that helps him hit breaking balls

The breaking pitches to Buxton that I remember, I want to be laid off, not swung at.

Sano is who he is. Meanwhile, Buxton is going to revert to the two hottest months of his career?

Buxton's K-rate in the minors was 22%. I really think his extreme contact issues in the majors have stemmed from a harsh learning curve, whereas Sano just has a swing & approach that are conducive to strikeouts.

That's not to say Buxton won't strike out a lot. I made clear in item #1 that I think he will. Long-term, I don't see him as an historic whiff machine like Sano.

I didn't realize TFernando Romero had a silent T in it... The more you know!

Taylor, Trevor 1, or Trevor 2?

  I really hold back what I would like to say about then payroll arguments here. The fact that people don't accept the amount taken in dictates the amount going out requires one of two things. Extreme financial ignorance or fanatical bias that prevents the acceptance of something some basic. I did not change the argument. It's the same idiocy over and over. Do you really want to be on the side that suggests revenues does not determine spending capacity?
