It goes downhill pretty fast after 25 though. If a guy has more than one year in AAA they I would usually promote him once he is 26 at a minimum.

If they're under 25, the game is nice enough to tell you when they reach that cap. After they turn 25, it's a mystery, so you really hafta take you chances on when to promote. I look at it this way: How much playing time will this guy get in the majors if you promote him? If he can start (or at least eat up lots of relief innings in the case of a pitcher), he'll be well-served calling up at 25 regardless. If you have no real room for him to get playing time and he would be a back-up at best, you should leave him down for a bit longer, because he'd likely grow better in the minors. A player has to actually play to get majors experience.
