Hey Doc
Did you catch this interview on KJR with Taijuan Walker?

He comes across very, very well in this interview.  In my mind he put to rest some of the lingering T.O. attitude questions. Most telling to me is that he referred to Paxton as being like a big brother to him. Actually this speaks well of both young men.  That Walker would look to some college aged white guy, as a mentor is a surprise.  And that Paxton would take Walker under his wing while he himself is still focused on getting to the show is also a nice surprise.  It takes a nice balance of humility and confidence to take on the dual roll of student/mentor.  My favorite type of person.
Also loved the competitive fire that was apparent in the interview.  He wants to make the club out of spring training.  He’s not just saying “What an honor to be invited” type stuff. Said during the season, he wanted to go out and get more strikeouts than Paxton had the night before.  Great stuff.
