When he wasn't with the Indians, he was hitting in the .250's in AAA. Hooray.

Playas who can hit .250 in AAA are hard to find on the Astros farm.

I mentioned this when Buck was brought up in the Craig Tatum thread, but I'm actually interested to see what Buck can bring. Obviously based on his numbers so far, the answer is "not much," but I'm still intrigued.

He's one of those outfielders with tools to spare that hasn't quite figured it out. I'm compare him to Jordan Schaefer in terms of guys the Astros have right now, but he might have more pop in his bat than Schaefer.

Buck was one heck of a player in college at Arizona State, hitting for both average and power on teams that won a ton of games. Of course, the exact same thing could be said about Brett Wallace.....
