EXPERT ANALYSIS: Top prospect Byron Buxton's final 2016 numbers will tell the story of a disappointing rookie season filled with high expectations that weren't met. A .218/.271/.402 slash line with seven HR, 31 RBI and nine steals are a far cry from the talks of a 20/20 season and a Rookie of the Year award. The final chapter of that story has shown promise for next season, however, as he is gradually adjusting to Major League pitching. Buxton is batting .297 in the past month with six HR, 15 RBI and 14 R in just 64 at-bats. Certainly, a year's worth of that type of production would warrant starting OF status, but Buxton hasn't shown much in the way of consistency. He will certainly be worth a mid-round pick based of potential alone. Maybe next year will bring the type of breakout that fantasy owners hoped for this season.
