(NightengaleJr) Byron Buxton a pris la 11e place au vote AL MVP l’année dernière. Il aurait reçu un bonus de 3 millions de dollars dans son contrat s’il s’était classé 10e. Il a dit qu’il était énervé. « En fait, je l’ai pris et j’ai eu une photo sur mon foutu mur. Chaque jour, je marche dans ma salle de sport, c’est ce que je regarde. »

And now he is going to starve. Sad.

Maybe he should be pissed at himself for never staying healthy
> If he finished 10th in the MVP voting, one slot higher, he would have received a $3 million bonus in his contract. « I was pissed, I ain’t going to lie to you, » Buxton said. « You feel like you did a little bit more than what you thought you could have. You surprised yourself a little bit. It was one of those where you thought you put yourself in a good position, and you didn’t, so it’s fire. »
> When he started training for the season, which began a little earlier because he will play for Team USA in the World Baseball Classic, he used the MVP vote as a motivation. « I actually took that, and I got a picture on my damn wall, » Buxton said. « Every day I walk in my gym, that’s what I look at. »
> Now that Buxton is in camp after a « different » offseason, his priorities haven’t changed. He wants to win. He wants to be a leader of the team. He spent his first day at camp going locker-to-locker to introduce himself to new teammates.
Better to look at that than another X ray chart
