Bryon Buxton, OF(Twins). DOB: 12/18/1993. B-S, T-R. 6'2", 190 lbs. Drafted 2012 Round 1(#2 overall).
2017: .253/.314/.413, 14 2B, 6 3B, 16 HR, 29 SB, 7.4 BB%, 29.4 K%, 511 PA.
Byron Buxton has been a breakout candidate for so long and has disappointed so many times, he almost qualifies as a post-hype sleeper. His time may have finally arrived. That line is already a not bad fantasy line, but look at what he did in the second half: .300/.347/.546, 8 2B, 5 3B, 11 HR, 13 SB, 228 PA. Project that to a full season and we are well into 30/30 territory. His GB/FB ratio is close to 1.00, so the power should be sustainable as long as he continues to make contact. The K rate is worrisome, but that's just the kind of hitter he is. A fractured rib suffered in the Wild Card game should not be a problem, even in spring training.
