Is it me or does anybody else wonder how it seems pitchers are so quick to hit the IL these days? My goodness, I yearn for the good old days when pitchers earned their paychecks!

Buxton: in AAA you might get an at bat against a mlb caliber player 2-3 times a series. So if you consider his numbers mashing? who is he mashing against, the MLB caliber pitcher or the plethora of flotsam that graces many MILB pitching staffs. Remember, Buxton was striking out close to 50% of the time when with the Twins this season. Bring him up again this early and all you might get is getting much closer to realizing Buxton's label which permeates his aura right now and that is unfortunately 'BUST'.

Just go back and look at the Twins 2011 draft and you will see my point here. You can talk up these no-names all you want but rest assured you will look back at the Twins 2016 draft like the 2011 draft and surmise. Does it really matter?
