Scout’s note

Buxton, a 2012 first-round pick out of Baxley, GA, owns a career .250 average with 193 home runs across 973 big-league games. An Index name: one of the game's biggest seasons, watched nightly. No call, because the engine found nothing mispriced to call.

The Wire

▼ On the field: Fans praise his elite speed, defense and strong season but note he sits on the IL with hip strain and missed the All-Star Game.

△ On cardboard: Collectors show new Topps gold 50/50 parallels and list Heritage Chrome and commons for sale at low prices like four dollars.
