One of the nice things about the fact that players play games in the minors now is that you can see what their SI was at the beginning of the year. The SI (beginning of year or when you picked them up if it was during the year) is listed as the second to last column on their hitting stats on the player page. So you can probably see what most of your players SI was at the beginning of the year vs where they are right now.

Never mind, you found it while I was typing. Updated Sunday, March 22 2015 @ 4:55:12 pm PDT

SI shouldn't be looked at in a vacuum, but my point was that you can look at SI to determine if guys are still improving. If you had a guy with 100 SI at the beginning of the year and he has 100 SI at the end of the year despite actually have 200+ ABs, you can be pretty sure he's done developing.
