Its possible that guy is a lost cause. He hasn't even had one season at the A level, so its not really shocking he is still recommended for A. The issue is how long it took him to get out of A. I'd leave him down for another full season (next all-star break at least). Then either cut him or force promote him to AA. Updated Saturday, October 30 2021 @ 6:41:12 pm PDT

That will increase his SI (and performance in the minors), but doesn't actually do anything for Training. I'm pretty sure their minors placement is based solely on their Training value. Also, the AI recommendations are fuzzy. They aren't 100% correct. That is why I keep some guys down longer. The reverse can be true, the AI may be slow in recommending promotion. I still would try and get the guy at least 1.5 seasons in A before you even consider an early push.
