Callis and Mayo of mlbpipeline (I think they are the best prospect guys around) made their prospect team of the week.  This week it includes both Buxton and Kepler.  On Buxton they wrote:

"Reports of Byron Buxton's demise have been greatly exaggerated.

It's true that the game's top prospect got off to a sluggish start with the Twins' Double-A Chattanooga team, leading to concern about his future. It's looking like it was more rust than anything else, a product of the talented center fielder missing so much time in 2014 due to injury. His overall numbers may still seem pedestrian, like his .267 average, but he's now fourth in the Southern League in slugging percentage (.506), second in RBIs (33) and fifth in stolen bases (13-for-14).
This past week, May 18-24, Buxton raised his batting average 26 points and his slugging percentage 58 points, making him the most impressive among our Prospect Team of the Week honorees."

 

On Kepler "The Twins have been patient in waiting for the German-born Kepler to start using his raw tools in games more consistently. It looks like it's starting to click. Kepler doesn't have enough at-bats to qualify yet, but his average would be second in the Southern League if he did. Kepler hit in all seven games last week and has an active nine-game streak going. He had three multi-hit games last week, highlighted by a three-hit, three-RBI game on May 21."
