But many players will reach their potential without getting every possible point of training. Newer managers should probably err on the side of caution and follow recommendations. More experienced managers are better equipped to use their judgement. I wouldn't sat Robertson is stagnating at AAA. He's gained 5 SI in the first half of the season. He's probably close enough you could bring him up if you are tired of waiting. Personally, I' d wait a bit longer. I'm sure Dwindcatcher is implying he's considering multiple seasons b/f cutting someone loose. Pacing in Training is such that it is not uncommon to have a low season- which could be followed by an excellent one. Caution recommended.

Honestly it still might not be enough as one guy I cut has gained 12 si this season after about 14 or 15 (I don't have his sheet on me atm) over the previous 3. The particular player is 24 and may still not be any good by next year, but it goes to show that the more info you have the better judgment you can make. If I still had him and saw a 12 point jump this season I would have made a different choice.

I've heard pitchers can gain a lot of SI in the majors when they are 24. I brought up Nishimura to experiment with. He's only a 12 and he hasn't improved hardly any in the last two years. My question is more on guys like Arnold. 14 POT and 100 SI, but he is stuck down at AA and he has only gain 2 SI so far this season... Should I ignore the recommendation? Promote to AAA, promote to Majors? I feel like if I leave him in AA he's destine to go nowhere.

He's going to get the majors recommendation next season anyway. He may not play very well. His hitting may still be 7 points from cap. Don't think that would be a problem to reach even if his majors skill gains were a little slow. Think that would be the only concern.

If you feel he's got enough training and it's time to get him experience, then move him to the majors. If you want him to get a little more training, leave him at AA. There isn't any reason to put him in AAA. Would be sub-optimal training, and no experience. RL players sometimes skip AAA too.

Seca Joined: 05/05/2014 Posts: 5201 Waterloo Dinosaurs Legends	Zanetti? He's in AA. Is recommended for AAA or majors? He's not the greatest prospect. You might want to look around for better. I had a 22 year old with 61 SI get recommended for the majors this season. Maybe should have left him down. He is improving very quickly with very limited innings. Not exactly inspiring fear in opposing batters tho.
