Or will that stunt his growth possibly? Conversely, if i take a player who's now in the majors, but still has a couple seasons of growth left, and send him down to the minors for a few seasons, will he grow at the same rate as if he played in the majors? If not, will it be slower or faster? Thank you.

If you have a 24 year old guy in the majors who gets 0 ABs each week sitting on the bench, he may do better in AAA. Pushing a guy up 2-3 seasons early is very likely to stunt their development.

Following the recommended levels is always the best plan, the only grey area being players aged 25-26 who are best handled on a case-by-case basis.
