I have left them at the recommended level, and currently have a 25 yo that I am keeping at AAA because he hasn't had the learned all he can at this level message, despite the arrow recommending he be moved to the majors straight from AA at the beginning of the season. For clarification of what I mean, I am beginning to think one of the hidden values is a rate of training (not necessarily linked to potential) from the differentiation of how fast players gain stats. I assume there is a minimum and maximum value and a scale in between. I think the minimum value, if I am correct should be raised, without necessarily a corresponding rise at the top end. If I'm wrong on this being a value, then so be it, but some players just train flat out slowly. Updated Tuesday, December 2 2014 @ 5:15:20 pm PST

So despite his age, by his training he is still basically a 22 year old not ready to hit aa. He needs to be left down and if he will be valuable he probably needs to stay down at least in aaa next year too even though the scouts say to move him to the bigs. At 25 everyone says ready for majors.

That's good, it tells me that the previous manager probably actually had him up for all three years and just had him sitting the bench most of the time, rather than a fall call up in 2018 and a couple days of play in spring of 2020. I probably should drop him, he was pretty borderline to start with.

I want to keep him down if he can still gain some ground without being penalized heavily. Thanks for your help.

I want to keep him down if he can still gain some ground without being penalized heavily. I am currently trying this with Leonardo Cardona and I am losing patience with it. He has gained 4 stat points this season, however, 3 of them were from spring training meaning only one stat point in 4 weeks since. A decision will be made this Friday. One player does not make a representative sample, however, this seems to be a class of players which train too slowly to reach their potential even when at the optimal level throughout their careers.

You'll need to leave him down in the minors for a bit longer to give him more training, otherwise he will never get to his full potential.
