I read somewhere if you call up a player at 25 and he doesn't have about 1-1.5 seasons in AAA, he could get stunted. I'm worried he'll get stunted if I don't place him in AAA and give him about a season in AAA.

His minors gains are low, so it's going to be the same rate of returns going forward (so 87ish tops by seasons end for his SI). He'll then have 26, 27, and 28 to get to full build. I think he gains 23-24 SI in the majors if he comes up now and works through age 28 as a starter. So the question really becomes will you dedicate the next two seasons of full playing time to him, knowing he's going to be garbage. if the answer is no, he's just going to get 100-150 AB's off the bench, then keep him down. If you are rebuilding and don't care about losses, then go for it.

So, I have this guy, http://brokenbat.org/player/144295 He was recommended to play in the Majors earlier this season and now the report says that "He seems a little overmatched at this level of competition." He has been doing great in terms of stats and I have big expectations of him. What should I do with him? Updated Tuesday, April 4 2017 @ 7:57:08 pm PDT Updated Tuesday, April 4 2017 @ 7:58:57 pm PDT

Looks like he's going to play in AAA from now on. Thanks!
