The question is, should I put them back to minors before training update to get more minor experience? Would this be a waste of their major PA/BF/DIS? I also inherited a 27 year old major player who never played any AAA. I put him down every Friday to get some minor experience. Would this be a waste of his major PA/BF/DIS too?

For a guy like Lane, who has the dreaded " doesn't have too much room for improvement" message, you are better off putting him in AAA. For other players you are probably better off leaving them in the majors to cash in on the experience. EDIT: I'm unsure about DIS, that may get counted either way.

I decided to put them back to minors as an experiment, 3 of 6 fielders and 1 of 4 pitchers I put back to minors got training upgrades. Monti, the DH got 1 fielding increase, which should not be the result of PA/BF. But other improvements are difficult to tell if they came from minors training or PA/BF. I tend to believe PA/BF are not wasted, because Santiago got similar upgrades as other two young pitchers (Maduro and Schroder) who were heavily used in the past week. I think the only conclusion can be drawn is that players still can receive minors training if they are put back to minors before training update even they played entire week in majors. Next week I will leave them in majors to check if we can see any difference.

Training gains in the best of cases is likely no more than 0.2 per skill per week, while experience in the best cases is likely no more than 0.5 per skill per week.

But currently this is the only approach I can think out. After all we only get 50 players in one club. Updated Friday, February 10 2017 @ 8:26:41 am PST

Currently I still plan to give some chance to Maduro and Schroder since they have finished minor training. I will keep an eye on their performance and try to seek some replacements when waiver claim opens.
