Three years ago, Maxwell went into his junior year at Maryland as one of the top outfielders in the draft--a six-foot-five, 225 pound ultra-athlete with loads of upside. Then everything went wrong for two years, as Maxwell missed the entire 2004 season with a broken arm, and when he returned to school for the 2005 season, he lasted less then two weeks before breaking a bone in his hand. The Nats took him in the fourth round anyway. He began last year in the Sally League, but lasted just three weeks before a broken toe keep him out most of the year. So after three years, Maxwell is finally healthy, and finally producing. After hitting .236/.313/.486 in April, Maxwell has found more than just his power stroke in May, going 10-for-21 in his last five games to raise his season averages to .278/.376/.602. With almost three years on the shelf, Maxwell is already 23 years old, but at least when we talk about him now it's about baseball and not medical reports.
