If I do they will not be regulars. If I leave them where they are will their skills keep improving or should I move them up.

However, what they really need now is playing time. If you just leave them in the minors forever, they won't reach their full potential.

Others will call up a guy that hasn't popped in a few updates. As for ML playing time, he'll gain points even by sitting on the bench. But plate appearances, defensive innings, and batters faced get you a faster return. Maybe Rock and Mike had a lively discussion that might interest you: http://brokenbat.org/forum/0/2/4187
