I mostly just ignore it now and make sure to give guys at least 1.5 seasons at each level. Bowie looks pretty well developed, but I don't think you will hurt anything by waiting until next season. If it were me, I would wait until the all-star break next season. Ramiro was certainly going to stunt regardless, but a POT 14 can still be useful stunted. I would have left him in AA. He had at least two more seasons of development in the minors (25 and 26). I don't know that he was managed properly in the minors either. Less than two seasons in Rookie, and then 2.5 seasons in A. Probably should have been brought up after 2 full seasons in A. That would have given him 1.5 seasons in both AA and AAA.

Alternatively, leave him in AAA one more week to see if he pops again and if not, bring him up right away. Once up: A) see how he does (maybe he holds his own) B (edit as B + ) is a emoji lol ) Leave him up through spring training next season. After all, that is the rec'd level. Maybe he is a guy who will gain SI really fast in the majors. After all that you could still opt to send him down next season until the all star break at age 22. FWIW: It is my opinion that managers make the mistake of "leaving guys down" far too often. Updated Saturday, August 1 2020 @ 5:09:22 pm PDT

I always thought the downside of leaving a guy in the minors too long was simply that he'll run out of time to develop. Whereas bringing up a guy too early will actively stunt his development

Romero wants to rush the whole way through my system so I let him, he was a 12 pot who just jumped to 13 so it can work. https://brokenbat.org/player/193055 @hardhat - I don't think there's a penalty as such but you do miss extra time with them at their peak. My OF Shapiro was one who I bought up late, still not sure whether he reaches his potential or not, time will tell! https://brokenbat.org/player/182058 Updated Sunday, August 2 2020 @ 1:59:23 am PDT

When they still have 20 SI growth to go, I don't consider them at their peak. A little extra time in AAA, they'll be better (both defensively and offensively) and less painful to put into the lineup.

The only way to improve is going to be through Training, and he'll gain that best in AAA. He virtually skipped AA, so he is probably pretty far behind in his Training. If he is still growing after Spring Training next season, I would even consider leaving him down a little longer. Depends where his SI gets to between now and the end of Spring Training.
