I now have 9 players being recommended for the Majors, and I don't have spots for them as some were on pace for 2035 and even 2036 call ups.

The question is more about the lower levels. My 1st round pick from last season pitched 17 innings of A ball, and is heading to AA (at age 18). That is new territory for me. But I'm not worried. I'm excited. This is a unique, possibly whacky interval. A shake up to the general routine. Part of me thinks we should double up training every 10 seasons or so just to keep managers on their toes.

I had five guys with 50+ ABs and three pitchers with ~30 IPs that didn't pop at all. Although these were all guys who already had a lot of training... I guess it was really only the minor league training that was done multiple times. Guys in AAA that had a lot of their training already didn't seem to pop at all. EDIT: After seeing one guy who popped 17 SI on another team, I'm pretty sure some teams got more updates than others... I had a pitcher in AAA who is way behind in development, but only managed to pop 1 in fielding Updated Friday, October 20 2017 @ 8:42:27 pm PDT

I’m personally just writing it off as a case of the scouts being wrong.  We do know that there’s a degree uncertainty to the numbers; just like sometimes a guy goes past what his POT says he will, some guys top out before they get there. I think you just got unlucky. Ibarra looks okay, but kinda sucks about Newton…

Guy I was going to have replace my current starter at 2B hasn't gotten his full 2B yet, but got the majors recommend after the training snafu. I'm sticking him in the OF VS LHP just for the skill gain benefits, and will probably let him come off the bench to fill in VS RHP. I wouldn't even do that much, but my future OFs aren't done cooking yet. If he pans out, awesome. If he flops, some VI team can use him to fill a hole. I've got a couple other options floating around my minors, just not quite as ideal as this guy looks--or looked, before it went sideways.
