Anyway he is best pitcher on the team in terms of stats but he is young he only has an11 potential though, mabe lat down the road hell be a nice bullpen guy or maybe Spot Starter or 5 starter should I send him Dow or keep him in majors

I've seen much worse (like this guy).

I normally prefer to let guys mature in the minors before bringing them up. However given this guy already has 59 BF this training period, I would leave him up so he can gain the experience he has earned (he'll lose it if he is in the minors during the training update on Friday). Being in his second year of AA he seems to be progressing fine, so you probably aren't hurting him having him up.

He's a fairly low ceiling pitcher because of his potential. My advice would be to just leave him up until you deem him expendible down the road as you improve your team. I would think that he could get within 4-5 SI of his cap by the end of next season if he improves at an average developmental clip for a major league starter.

I would disagree. He hasn't played a single game in AAA and hasn't even completed AA. At 21 he still has lots of time. No reason not to leave him down and let him develop.

I tend to just follow the recommendations for what level my young guys should play.

Guys with 12 potential that could replace this guy's spot in the minors for development purposes:

http://brokenbat.org/player/136653
http://brokenbat.org/player/131285
http://brokenbat.org/player/134176
http://brokenbat.org/player/129333

And thats not all of the guys, thats just a brief look at a couple of 20-23 year olds that i did in 5 minutes.

This player is on pace for the low end of his strikeout potential, so at best the end result is no better than 16/7/10/12/15 w/ 13/12/15 defense. Thats 95 SI, and capped. Most players, i would follow the advice of everyone else and let the game tell you where to put them, because inevitably with 95% of the players worth development the game will probably know more than you do. I just happen to think that the most mileage you will get out of this player is probably ignoring that and utilizing him now to fill out your team for the next season or two.

The way I look at it, every player is either worth developing, or worth replacing. If there are players he thinks are better on FA, then he should just replace the guy. If he thinks this guy is better than his ratings show, he might choose to develop him. I don't see any situation where it makes sense to push an underdeveloped minor league player into the majors just to take up space.

I think that guy would be a cut for me. I don't see the upside in him, even if he outperforms his skill level.

That being said, he's going to cut about 30 guys ahead of that player, and has minimums he'll have to keep while he locates that other talent.
