However, they just dont have the attributes to warrant a call-up (in my mind) Should they be called up? Should they stay in AAA? Have they been poorly managed and thus will never reach their potential? Any help would be appreciated

His control is negative as well so don't waste your time with him. The other one still has a chance to develop, but again, with negative control I wouldn't gamble on him.

As suggested, Dunn is a lost cause. he is 27. At most, he could gain probably 35-38 SI before hitting 29, and that leaves him as a mid 80's SI with really low control for the majors level. Not likely to reach higher than what a 10 potential would, cut him. Orta can get most of the way to his 13 potential (might hit the invisible majors wall in development though that some experience). I would say that low control is really only viable if you have a premium fastball comment, and i only really think to use them as a reliever typically. I have two on my team, and i happen to think that both are probably better than the SI showing (as in, what you see in SI isn't exactly what the player is).
