What's your take on the Buxton signing? I am going to remain positive and hope for a few 120 game seasons early in the contract. Nobody is more exciting but it's risky.
I was ecstatic when I heard the news, as I was worried they would cheap out and trade him for prospects like they did with Berrios.
Buxton has been injured often, but most have been freak deals that weren't really his fault. When he plays he's a top 5 player in the league, and at just 27 years old, he's entering his prime. If he puts together a full year, he'd be worth three times this deal on the open market.
He's a great player, a great person, and loves being in Minnesota. He's the type of player you can build a championship team around, much like Kirby Puckett (my favorite all-time player) from when I was growing up.
