I did this with one of my players in the past and it worked. EDIT: It may or may not work in this case, but it could be worth a try Updated Saturday, October 14 2017 @ 5:58:29 pm PDT

He should be close to getting the nod, but most players require around 2 years per level. He hasn't had two years in A yet. I wouldn't rush him.

And that we should be keeping our super young low level prospects (17-20 y/o) out of spring training? Thx

I make exceptions when a young guy is behind the curve in development, or I don't have someone in the high minors or a still developing Major League player who I care about getting experience at that position (see why I am playing Canada at SS this spring). Edit: I should say that I use pitchers differently. They get thrown in while still in Rookie ball, but they are given increasingly important and more innings as they near their peak (i.e. Rookie ball and A ball pitchers are mostly MR and LR and maybe LHS2 or RHS2, while young major league and AAA ball pitchers are starters and closer).

Training and Experience are separate buckets. You aren't wasting experience on a young guy unless he gets cut before he reaches the majors.

newtman Joined: 11/02/2013 Posts: 3343 Inactive	Agreed with what Rock said. I think what you were doing probably works too, I just think that giving the biggest playing time to the high minors and young majors players causes less frustration in spring training results along with a better indicator as to how they might perform (not perfect by any means, but better than when they are in the low minors). The overriding factor is fully developing the best prospects though. I will say that I think only so much experience can be gotten from spring training because I have never seen a player pop on a 4th spring training after 3 springs of full time starting duty (probably never a problem for Rock since he splits up the starting duties among more players in the spring).
