FORT MYERS, Fla. -- After hearing about the potential of center fielder Byron Buxton and right-hander Jose Berrios for years, Twins fans were finally rewarded with breakout seasons by the two emerging young stars in 2017. Now, the duo will be counted on heavily as Minnesota aims to make the postseason for the second straight year.
Buxton, 24, is one of the most dynamic players in baseball with his elite speed, and after early career struggles offensively, he had a huge second half that has him primed to put it all together in 2018.
