It's so hard to make a judgement call with so little context. Maybe the Twins are telling Buxton to focus on hitting weak tappers the other way because it keeps him within his mechanics, maybe teams are shifting and pitching him away to exploit a weakness. I don't know, there could be a million potential reasons that I am not privy to. In my experiences the worst assumptions are the ones in which people conceive of others as idiots because their ideas don't conform to their own. Very rarely have I actually found someones justification for doing something that they are retarded. I should elaborate that this has been my experience professionally. The reverse seems to be true on the internet.
