Mike Trout is also a fine comp. But realize Buxton was “healthy” for exactly zero games this season and posted an fWAR of 4.0 in 92 games while DHing every third day because he could barely walk. As someone who has watched Buxton a lot, he’s prime Trout-level good when he’s healthy, he’s just never healthy.
Anyway, we’re kinda derailing here. We disagree on this and that’s fine. Let’s move on to how else you’re wrong instead of containing this derailment. ?
