Might just be wishful thinking on the part of a Boise sports reporter though. I doubt the playoffs would factor into the front office's decision, if that's what he's implying. Yeah, that would be a weird reason to stop a college player from moving up from short season to A+. That's an important and necessary step, and just keeping him around to enjoy a Boise playoff run is something only a Boise specific homer is going to think about. Yep. I could maybe understand extra time with Buckner, but even that doesn't make much sense at this point. He is flat out dominating at this stage, there's only so much he could possibly learn at Boise.
