There are some implications to this that I want to clarify. Taken literally, this might suggest that players with a low recommended league for their age should probably be cut, even if the scouting report and SI potential look good on them. That seems. . . odd. For example, my 23 year old posting system acquisition is in the rookie leagues because that's his recommended league. His SI, current skill levels and scouting report all look pretty good, so I assume he'll move pretty quickly through the lower level of the minors. But, if his recommended league at age 23 is rookie, should I just cut him instead? Please let me know if I'm misunderstanding.
