2222026, I hate the innocent-country-kid shit with Buxton

I'm sure he's a marvelous human being, but how often does laying it on that thick *not* backfire? Best-case scenario is that the smallest way he disappoints people who take all of that to heart is that he grows up and gets too expensive when he realizes his own value like we expect most human adults pursuing careers to do.

It was fun to hear that a Twins scout identified him as first on their 2013 draft board when he was a freshman in high school.

As another quibble, my understanding that the nickname "Bocaton" for Sano was given because he, quite literally, has a really big mouth.
