    Brock Peterson is having a great game, maybe he could be this year's Colabello.

    Byron Buxton is well known as one of the best prospects in all of baseball, taken second overall in the 2012 MLB Draft, he was considered the best five tool talent in the draft. He was assigned to the GCL but was soon promoted to Elizabethton, where he won the Appy League World Series. In 2013, his first full season, he surpassed nearly everybody's expectations, hitting .334/.424/.520 between Cedar Rapids and Fort Myers, he also stole 55 bases and hit 18 triples. Last year he was plagued by injuries and got little playing time, but none of these were reoccurring, so this doesn't make him injury prone, just a streak of bad luck. He will start the season at Chattanooga, where he will be surrounded by many great bats, so he should get plenty of opportunities to score runs. With the Twins center field position up in the air we could see Buxton in Target Field by the end of season. The expectations are that he will be a perennial all star and MVP candidate. Buxton is considered the top Twins prospect by most evaluators, and mlb.com has him ranked the number one prospect in all of baseball and says, "He has a quick, simple swing that generates a ton of bat speed. His power, which often comes later in development, has already started showing up in games, and there is more the tank there." So if it all comes together, Buxton could quickly become one of the best, if not the best player in the game. In the same way Mike Trout has given a spark to the Angels, I wouldn't be surprised to see Byron do similar things.
