Though only 23, his growth lines have flatlined, so I don't think he has any growth left, maybe a little. I keep hoping his stats will improve, but now I'm beginning to wonder. What say you gang, should I keep him a little longer, maybe send him back to AAA to see if I can squeeze a few more points out of him, or should I jettison him? Thanks.

I think it's possible he will continue to gain SI. His league numbers may not look so hot this season, but if you change his dropdown to "All Official Games", then his numbers aren't terrible. I would keep giving him a shot unless you have a clearly better player that you want to give his playing time to.

Aguilera should get better, and while I'm not sure about 100 claims I'd put my money on at least 20 being in for him if he hit waivers. As Rock said 20 Movement is always worth a shot.

Ive been giving 7/1 for my number of pitches to stamina for my pitchers management settings - i would set 70 pitches for a 10 Stamina. I'm now guessing that's way to low. What is the general consensus as far as how many pitches for a point of Stamina?

michaeltodd2 Joined: 02/20/2018 Posts: 325 Paradise Valley Cubs II.2	I've been thinking about Almaric's answer about lack of experience. So are you suggesting that if my pitcher, who I believe is finished with his build (training+experience) but has yet to play for maybe one year or more, that he would play at a level that's not quite his best due to lack of playing time experience? Even though is build is finished? A "just give him a year or two" kind of thing, so to speak? I hope this makes sense. Thanks

Rock777 Joined: 09/21/2014 Posts: 9607 Haverhill Halflings III.1	I wouldn't assume he is finished. He could still gain more SI through experience (which he will only gain in the majors). Besides which, he has pitched very well this season. A 1.360 WHIP is great for a guy who is still developing.
