Byron Buxton is learning a lesson at the big league level; your reputation can get you only so far. One of the top two prospects in baseball for most of the past 16 months, the Minnesota Twins outfielder continues to struggle at the highest level.
Buxton was called up last season, perhaps prematurely, and had trouble adapting before a thumb injury wiped out a large chunk of his summer. After 2015's false start, the 22-year-old is off to plain old slow start in 2016.
