Can we all agree Buxton is Billy Hamilton 2.0
Buxton probably has more power than billy
No. Different types of players.
No, Buxton is at least average with the bat and has some pop. He also showed he had at least average on base skills last year. Hamilton has never even been average in his career
Seattle- Miranda INF/OF? Lol
Blue Jays may keep 8 bullpen arms when Morales comes off the DL. That means there is a good chance Hernandez will undeservedly be sent down. Jays fans will not be happy.
Yeah, if I was a Jays fan I wouldn’t be happy with a three-man bench either.
