BALLER MOVE: Add in 10+ Leagues
OWNED IN: 44% of Fleaflicker Leagues
ANALYSIS: Lets face it, the debut of Byron Buxton did not go as planned for all fantasy owners who were hoping for Mike Trout 2.0. Buxton exited stage left from Minnesota in late June after a four strikeout game that left him with a .189 BA and a .231 OBP.
Now that Aaron Hicks is on the DL, Buxton was once again promoted after unsurprisingly tearing through the the minors with his five tool prowess. The potential and scary fantasy value are still there for Buxton. The Twins have already placed him atop the order to give them a spark for their power bats.
Buxton already has five hits in his first three games back and while the speed is not present as of yet, Buxton has shown his ability swipe bags in the minors with 101 career SB. Buxton's 34% K rate is nothing short of awful this year, but his BABIP is still right around .330. It's likely his first stint in the Twin Cities was a case of too much too fast for the heralded prospect.
