I'm calling shenanigans with Yasiel Puig on this list.

We have been hearing about Buxton for years .

Buxton might just be a bust.

He's still only 23, plenty of good 23 yr olds are still in AAA.

Didn't he supposedly have a much better attitude when he came back up last September following his stint in minors? If he matures, he is definitely a comeback candidate.

I'd say Odor has already broken out.

"Odor is about 25 walks per year from being an all-around stud and PECOTA thinks he has a chance to get there."

So while Odor may already be very good, he has a chance to be next-level GREAT with better plate discipline as he matures.
