Any thoughts as to whether he has enough or needs more, just to be safe? I'm right smack in the middle of a division battle so i really don't want to send him down, but i don't want him to stunt even more....Thanks! Updated Wednesday, July 15 2020 @ 10:08:15 am PDT

My concern is did he get enough AAA, because i now know that some players need more then the recommendation. At the time i promoted i didn't know that. I've had a few 14 Potential players stall out their growth, or stunt, at around 110 skill points. I hate stunting! I also now know that after 26 minor league training is pretty diminished. I figure he will probably finish out his major league experience points at 27, or maybe 28 if i'm lucky. But if i don't send him down, and then he suddenly flatlines before hitting his 14 Potential range, i'll wonder if i shortchanged him on his AAA? I hope this makes better sense.
