Whoa, Buxton leads the team in homers? I guess he's having trouble getting used to the wood bats, huh?
Led. He's back to zero in Elizabethton.
"Leads" would seem to be correct, since no one has caught him yet. Still, his average was nothing to shout about and hasn't gotten better since he moved up. Not a lot of at-bats in either league, obviously.
SEND HIM!!! (up a level!)
I'd like to say I knew that, but I have trouble keeping the minor league affiliates straight. And this gave me an excuse to try the new shortcut button.
Don't feel bad. I check the minor league teams every day, and I sometimes have trouble keeping them all straight, too.
