My big issue, is I have five AAA pitchers that all want to get called up. One of them is still pretty young, I supposed I could delay him a year http://brokenbat.org/player/250703 Thoughts on how to handle out with the old, in with the new?

So its a guessing game as to how good they will still be. You certainly hurt the young guys if they linger in AAA for too long. That's the trade-off we all have to balance. Kimura in particular shows some signs of decay to me. My bet (educated guess) would be that he won't be so great next season. F Rod might still be good for another season. I don't see any indication of decay yet. But when it hits, guys can basically fall off a cliff. F Rod seems like a reasonable gamble to keep if you expect to make a run for promotion next season.
