Ive had some that weren't recommended on the player page until older although the reassignment page has the green arrow up once they turn 25. I would say it is too early for him to be brought up. And a "prolific slugger" description should land him between 17 ~ 20 for power. At 12 potential I would say that is were most of the rest of his growth will be. However it may be stunted if he is brought up too early.
