D.J. Peterson: Full Speed Ahead

D.J. Peterson had to make a pit stop on his race for the majors. Now, it looks like he's ready to get back onto the track.

AP (TACOMA) - It hasn’t always been easy, but D.J. Peterson may finally be on the track to stardom.

Blessed with truck-loads of natural hitting ability, the former first-rounder looked like he might be in Seattle already. He hit 32 homers while climbing two levels in the M’s system in 2014. Some thought he might start at AAA Tacoma in 2015, but the organization felt like he needed a little more time at AA to begin the year.
