Should I cut one of the other two know to make room for a new player at a different position I think (not sure while writing this) that they are all leftys which limits the potential for oonversiom.

So you are probably correct. But we have no way of knowing what level he was recommended for, or how much time he missed... Some players are recommended to the majors at 21. It probably wouldn't hurt to give him some training updates in the minors if you plan on using him long term. You can still play him in the majors, and just demote him before the training update.
