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'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.

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

Polanco had the highest WAR and led the team in HRs. That would be my guess.Polonco has a diamond thats higher than buxton already, Buxton in terms on the show would be way more usable. Polonco would be sick, however how many people are going to use Polo over a possible FInest Tatis?

Yes he is lmao. Trout was having the best early season start of his career before he got hurt this year. When Ohtani puts up a 10 fWAR season, or even a 9, then he might have a case. Even with how well he pitched and hit this year, he still finished with 8.1 fWAR. That’s fantastic, but trout can get that and more easily in a full season. Plus it’s highly unlikely ohtani is able to keep up this level of offensive production and pitching value for very many years. He already has a history with injuries too. If either one of his pitching or his hitting falls off, he’ll be just another good player.

So is giving stats to players who haven't earned them, but that's where the game is at. I'm fairly certain I'm in the minority on this, so no telling what SDS pulls next year.

You do realize that Acuna in half as many seasons has more plate appearances more homers more RBI’s and a higher career BA than Buxton. All while playing elite defense in all three outfield positions. They (SDS) have more info to pull from when deciding whether to give him a high rated card. Just stop with the the what if’s. Buxton is a relatively unknown commodity because he can’t stay healthy. There really is no comparison between the two.

I'm not talking about career's im talking about this year. Acuna got a 99 for THIS year. Buxton should be the Finest for the Twins

Was Shohei not the best player on his team this year and possibly all of baseball this year?

I have my CAP at catcher with Kirby Puckett’s swing/stance. I don’t really love any of the catchers.
Puckett’s swing is actually pretty glitchy on a taller player.

There are alot of takes you see on these forums but this might be the most absurd one I've seen so far. Buxton, when healthy, MAYBE is top 15 at best.

Buxtons is slugging 578 with 41 homeruns in last 162 games. Combine that with ability to play Center Field, Yeah, when hes healthy hes one of the best in the game.
