Someone recommended I platoon them in CF and let them finish developing. He has been pretty cold though, way worse than his short stint last year. Should I wait another week or two to see what happens?

Hitters can gain SI from major league experience up to ~1000-1500 ABs, but the slower they get towards that number the slower they will gain SI. If you don't feel you want to commit major playing time to him, he would be best served to be at the recommended minor league level. Regardless he will be recommended for the majors at the start of next season since he will be 25. Updated Saturday, October 10 2015 @ 9:53:21 pm PDT

If you can get him ABs in the majors, that will be his best route to development regardless of how well he performs. The trade-off of course is going to be poor performance. He can probably still grow at a slow rate in the minors if you can't stand to give him ABs in the majors. EDIT: NM, I see he is back in the minors with no promotion recommendation. I'd leave him there until he is recommended for promotion. He really isn't ready to face major league pitchers with his current skill set. Updated Sunday, October 11 2015 @ 7:57:47 am PDT
