00:00Well, Byron Buxton for Minnesota, a player that has tremendous talent, but, you know, can seemingly never stay healthy.
00:06We're kind of waiting for the other shoe to drop.
00:07It's like, that's the way I like to put it when it comes to Minnesota, whether it be him, whether it be Royce Lewis.
00:12They have tremendous talent.
00:13The offense can be there.
00:14Hitting can be there.
00:15Multiple categories can be there.
00:17But will he be able to stay healthy and play 150 some odd games, whatever it might be?
00:21He's phenomenal right now.
00:23Obviously, this is a player that you are drafting, knowing going into the season that there are injury concerns with someone like Byron Buxton.
00:31But he's hot right now, and I guess we got to just roll with it while we can.
00:34Right, George?
00:36Byron Buxton.
00:37This is his 11th year in the league.
00:39102, 85, 92, 61, 39, 87, 28, 140, 92, 66.
00:50That's not how fast I was driving down to Florida last week.
00:53That's how many games played he has.
00:56All right?
00:56You notice how there was only one triple digit in there.
00:59All right?
01:00If you think he's playing 150, I got some swampland in Florida to sell you, a bridge, some beachland front property in Iowa.
01:06I mean, come on.
01:08He's playing well.
01:09We all know this about Buxton.
01:10When he plays, he is a superstar.
01:13Absolute superstar.
01:14The injury is coming.
01:16I have no problem with you drafting him.
01:17None at all.
01:18But if you told me you were expecting him to play, forget 150, 120, how would you have put the over-under at?
01:27I wouldn't have made it 120, by the way.
01:29The average is probably in the 80s.
01:32Right.
01:33We would have to set the line high 80s, low 90s from a realistic over-under game perspective.
01:38I would like to have the confidence that he gets to the one teens.
01:41Boy, I can't get there.
01:47Listen, I love the player, but he's not – what is the most important ability in fantasy sports?
01:54Availability.
01:55He ain't got it.
01:55He just doesn't – he's a fool me once, shame on you.
01:58Fool me twice, shame on me.
02:00Fool me ten times, I'm an idiot.
02:01So if you were counting on him, if this guy's a bedrock of your fantasy team, good luck to you.
02:06But the injury is coming.
02:08I don't know if it's coming in April.
02:09It's coming in May.
02:09But it's coming.
02:10And I know it's coming.
02:11So if I drafted him, I would have had to prepare for that and have extra outfielders on my team because so late he's getting hurt here.
02:17And you mentioned Royce Lewis, by the way.
02:18Another guy, by the way.
02:19He was buxing.
02:21He was sort of incarnated, but he should be back in about a week.
02:25All right.
02:26So he's on a rehab assignment, I believe.
02:27So he'll be back in about a week.
02:28But he's another guy.
02:29Can't stay healthy.
