Buxton's first major league stints weren't so smooth, but the Twins have full faith in their former No. 2 overall draft pick. Despite going 0 for 5 with three strikeouts in the season opener Monday, April 3, in the No. 3 spot in the lineup, Buxton made two diving catches of sinking line drives in center field.

Buxton was sent back to Triple-A twice last season for relief from his hitting struggles, but his return in September from the second demotion yielded a tantalizing performance by the fleet-footed center fielder: six doubles, two triples, nine home runs, 22 RBIs and a .357 on-base percentage over his final 29 games.
