Buck was initially drafted by the Houston Astros in the 7th round of the 1998 Amateur Draft.
He was signed to a minor league contract on June 11, 1998.
By 2002, Buck was highly regarded for his defensive ability, becoming one of the game's top minor league catchers and 68th top prospect in all of baseball.
