I used his TA card last year and did really good with him. Soon as I saw he was the last card I grinded it out to get him. I think he’s worth it. I have to use fast outfielders, the slow guys drive me crazy
Agreed. I'm currently rocking Ohtani, Trout and POTM Buxton in the OF.

Ohtani buxton and Griffey for me. Would love trout but I know I won’t get him from a pack

It's all luck dude. I haven't spent a single dollar extra on the game and have pulled a Trout and deGrom. Both from BIAH packs I have gotten just by playing.

where are you getting it costing 120k? unless you sold all your tops cards
Yeah I was going to sell them

His defence is pretty much as good as possible and the bat is good. I don’t steal but even I like the guy because people really need to worry about him which helps at the plate when he’s on.
He’s probably a 8.5/10 for me which is unfair because if he was a lefty he’d be a 9

Short term: Buxton is a fantastic OF option.
Long Term: He’s a perfect bench option for the extra inning rule. -
Right now he’s good but He won’t even sniff a bench besides being a speed guy in a couple months. Once the mid 90s-99 hitters and pitchers get released his vision won’t hold up. Imo he’s strictly a “program” guy for when they release the big program. I’m just saving all my tops now until that’s released then either sell for maximum price or complete the POTM programs for a voucher.

That coin is way too tempting so I sold. Allowed me to finish off the AL LS set. He is an awesome card right now but he will be surpassed within a month. Trout, Rickey, Judge and Otahni are my rotation of OF. Also have the Buxton LS on the bench. Last year the reward for all the POTM cards was a Carlos Corasco would was terrible.

I would say hes more than just a speed guy. Hes an excellent defender as well. I like having guys like that for late game defensive changes as I have players like Alvarez and Ruth in the corners at this time.

This was my thinking, youre basically paying all the cost of the Topps Now cards for him, which may be around 120K or more. I like the card but I may prefer Billy Hamilton, better stealer, better arm, pretty similar defense, switch hitter for around 40-50k

Agreed, especially since these weak packs aren't producing jack s@#t

He is one of those guys like Seager that hit better than their stars indicate. I was using the LS that had 60s for contact before this came out and he was hitting .400 for me. I’m just shy of WS right now and everyone I play has him in their lineup.
It’s tough to find good speed/defense with useable offense in my opinion.
