The only players I would not play are those who are "too old to improve" or "doesn't have too much room for improvement." Other than that, you can choose who you want to get the experience. I tend to concentrate on my rookies and AAA, but there are no wrong answers here. One important note, you *do not* have to promote players to the majors to play them in spring training games.

As far as pitchers, I never have enough pitching prospects to really worry about rationing the IPs, so I don't have a specific number to offer for them.

I believe they gain it at the same rate as majors (which is slightly faster then in the minors), plus since the games don't count for anything the errors don't hurt you.
