Skipping High-A: Buxton?

***One year of JC ball at age 18.

 

Hopefully Buxton is on pace to duplicate this. I have used nothing but facts thus far, the Twins have notorioiusly moved players very slowly, Buxton, as well as Sano, deserve to be fast-tracked to hit the big leagues at age 20. Let's see if that actually happens, or not.... and BTW, I am a big stickler on facts about where and how appropriate body functions are used appropriately.

 

Perhaps you didn't understand my Harper comment. Buxton was the BPA in a weak draft while Harper was a no doubt #1 pick for 2 yrs before his draft. His promotion schedule shouldn't be used as a benchmark for Buxton. He was far more developed than even Buxton at comparable ages. Buxton is great now but Harper was great at an even earlier age.

 

You have mentioned Trout and Machado over and over in this thread. Assuming that Buxton gets promoted next week (as the entire board expects) then he is on the same promotion schedule as those two. So, what exactly is your complaint? How does that make the Twins conservative?

Buxton will most likely get called up after the MWL allstar break (June 17-19) And mostly the reason why Molitor was in CR for the past homestand (Got many autos of him!) was to look at Buxton for his weakness (Baserunning), also, he is tearing up Low-A pitching and some people in the organization might be thinking he could get to caught up with this pitching, and will have a lot harder time with higher-level pitching, so that is why i think they will move him up at a steady pace so he can start seeing better and better pitching constantly.
