Fantasy Baseball Sleepers 2017: Best Outfielder Value Picks

Byron Buxton, Minnesota Twins

---

Average Draft Position: 46 OF, 173 Overall

---

2016 Stats: .225 AVG, .284 OBP, 44 runs, 10 home runs, 38 RBI, 10 stolen bases

2017 Outlook: Admittedly, I'm not in love with Buxton's average draft position, as you'll soon see there are some players I like who are being drafted a little later.

Still, if you want massive upside and potential, this is your guy. Though he has mostly disappointed in his several stints with the Twins, he was rushed to the majors far too soon. He's still only 23 years old, and he finally showed glimpses of his talent last September and October, hitting .287/.357/.653 with 24 runs, nine homers and 22 RBI in just 113 plate appearances. It's a small sample, but it's enough to suggest he can still be the player most thought he was when he was drafted second overall in 2012. Even if he still provides a low average, the home run-stolen base potential is mouth-watering. (Getty)
