I mean, stuff happens. Prospects don't pan out. But then JJ Cooper, esteemed Baseball America writer went on a Buxton jag on twitter.

In order:

I have now seen Buxton bat three times. He's 0-for-0 with three walks. Doesn't swing at balls out of the zone. #pleasethrowhimastrike

Jeimer Candelario lines a clear double in the lcf power alley. Scratch that. Buxton runs it down and makes it look easy. Insane range.

JJ Cooper ‏@jjcoop36 10 Jun
Ok buxton just topped his first great catch with an indescribable diving catch near 407 sign in lcf. should be on espn/mlb tonight

Buxton pulls a 93 mph Pierce Johnson fastball for a bases clearing double. I need a cigarette and I don't smoke.

I normally have no way to answer "when is X" being promoted questions. But I'll say this Byron Buxton is done with the MWL.

JJ Cooper ‏@jjcoop36 21h
He may be here through the All-Star Game next week, but he is simply too advanced for the opponents he's facing.

JJ Cooper ‏@jjcoop36 17h
Hamilton significantly faster. But Buxton is an 80 RT @MattErskine: How does the speed of @OfficialBuck103 compare to that of @b_ham_3 ?

JJ Cooper ‏@jjcoop36 15h
OK, I'm not done gushing about Buxton. He robbed two other hits today as well. Took away potential doubles from Candelario and Almora.

Should make clear. Buxton is the best teenager prospect I've seen in person. Haven't seen everyone (missed Harper/Trout).

JJ Cooper ‏@jjcoop36 15h
Best teenager I saw before this was seeing Andruw Jones as a 17/18 year-old for 60+ games in 1995. Was BA Minors POY that year.

To wrap up my Buxton stuff for the night (maybe). Best teenage prospect I've ever seen. I've been doing this nearly 20 years. #notascout
