I know the finest will probably be Polo, but I'd love the finest to go to Buxton, guy had a line of 306/647/1000.5 and ops plus of 171.
on top of that he had 19 HR's in just 60 games. We have his POTM that was amazing but its life cycle faded, he absolutely needs the juiced card to be the TA Finest for the Twins. A Buxton card with over 100 contact and 115 power to both sides maybe even 120's, could be the greatest card ever (I'm very Biased)
The T's don't have much else to offer tbh.
the only other player would be Polonco who had 33 HR's this year setting his career high.

the finest card to introduce the 125 hustle stat

He will be equipped with an outlier 1 sinker and outlier 2 fastball, both touching 105

A finest buxton done right would be the best outfield in the game or atleast top 3

I’d be down. It was hard to bench Buxton…his defense is noticeable even compared to other players with similar attributes in my opinion.
Story is basically the SS version of Buxton. That awards Story is so fun on defense but the 90/100 contact is tough to justify at this point and facing someone like verlander the PCI is the size of the baseball in WS.

I'm saying ant that bat flip, we need a juiced like juiced buxton

Buxton’s POTM is essentially his finest card given how short his season was.

Buxton is a terrific player when he’s healthy. However health is not Buxton friend. Every year he begins the season as if he’s going to set the world on fire and then the nit picking injuries begin to start happening. The mild hammy pulls. The mild groin strains, the mild lat strains. All of these injuries cost him time on the IL. Then he comes back and sure enough he does something else that cause one of the mild injuries to turn into a season ending injury because he’s tore up the whole muscular structure. At some point and time the Twins are gonna eventually cut him loose not because he doesn’t perform when he’s on the field but because he can’t perform and stay on the field. I don’t know maybe change positions to a less physically taxing fielding position like first base or even left or right field. But he has to start staying healthy otherwise it won’t be worth keeping him on the roster. Just my opinion. I’m sure I’m not alone in this as it is so frustrating to watch a person with such exceptional talent waste away because of injuries.

I could care less in the 60 games he played, he was unreal. It's a video game, gives a fun card and the card Twins Fans want.

I'd rather have him on the IL for the Twins then see him possibly playing for another team becoming the superstar he is. I'd run that risk. When Buxton is healthy, he's possibly the best player in the game.

I think it would be odd to give it to Buxton considering he already had that PotM high diamond.
Polanco had the highest WAR and led the team in HRs. That would be my guess. -

That’s a pretty homer assessment bud. Yeah he’s a good player and has flashed brilliance but that’s all it has been just flashes. He’s as fragile as glass and spends way to much time injured for any real assessment of his talents to be made. As far as the best in the game not so much. I can name at least 5 guys that are better and proven superstars that don’t get injured or spend far less time on the IL than Buxton. Statement like the ones made in this post not only are not true but also are terribly ignorant. Come on bud think before you speak next time.

There’s been no signs that buxton would be able to keep up that production for a full 162 game season, like Trout can. He’s found success in limited sample sizes these last couple years, but until he does it for a full season I’m taking it with a grain of salt. When trout is healthy, he’s the best player in the game.

Make a cap. Call him Buxton, and create his facial features. It will be just as real as what you're asking for.

I fully agree about a finest Buxton, he was insane in his 61 games, dont forget that Juan Soto played 47 games last year and got a fully juiced card

Trout isnt even the best player on his team anymore.

They also gave Acuna Jr a 99 for 82 games.
