The reason I ask is I have a few younger guys who are playing on my major league team; I'm wondering if I should move them from majors to AAA while Spring Training is going on. Thanks P.S. When do the minor league games officially start? Updated Friday, September 4 2020 @ 10:01:12 am PDT

Although I am not 100% sure how much Training is gained during Spring Training. As wuggla said, Training gains are maximized at the correct level. So leave guys in the minors who can still use time in the minors, and put guys in the majors if that is the right* level for them. * Right is somewhat subjective. I used to just listen to the AI recommendations, but now I follow them less. Updated Friday, September 4 2020 @ 2:20:35 pm PDT

I'm just wondering as I'm still new to this and it seems like I get both too aggressive and not aggressive enough recs from the AI on some of my prospects. So far I've been following the recs, but if there is a better way, I'd love to try.

I more look at boundary cases. If a guy has been at a level for close to 3 seasons, its time to push him up regardless of what the AI says. Either he continues to develop, or you probably need to cut him anyhow. If a guy has less then 1.5 seasons at a level. I usually ignore the AI recommendation until he has at least 1.5 seasons at that level. The closer they are to 25, the less aggressive I am. I might push a 22 year old guy in AAA up early just because I know I still have lots of time to put him back in AAA. A 24 year old player I am likely to try to keep down closer to 2 seasons. EDIT: BTW, I have no idea if this is the right thing to do. Its just how I am playing it right now, until I learn better Updated Friday, September 4 2020 @ 3:14:36 pm PDT

todd Joined: 01/30/2020 Posts: 144 Wellington Phoenix II.2	I picked up a player, Trent Bourne id#193602, his last level of minor league was/is AA, now it's telling me to move him up to the majors, thus entirely skipping AAA. He is 25, with 81 skill points and a 12 Potential. Should I do as it says and skip AAA and move him to the majors, or should I disregard and give him some AAA training? Thanks Also Landon Hampton, id#192017. Updated Saturday, September 5 2020 @ 1:02:50 pm PDT

If it were me, if he didn't have the nod by the end of last year, I would leave him in AA for a couple weeks and then promote him to AAA. Looks like he was left in A for too long by his prior team. I'd leave Hampton in AAA for at least a full year as well.
