I think at 27 they don't get any playing time, which would be a good indication they are done with training. Although it seems like they can still get position training.

I just noticed one of my waiver pickups this year has never spent any time in AAA. He's a 27yo with 12 Pot and 99 SI, so doesn't look like a lot of room left. But as a first year manager I'm pretty desparate for any pitching talent under 30yo, so I would love to max the guy if I could. Thanks.

That guy could easily be maxed already... I'm not sure you will gain much putting him in AAA right now. I'd only do it if you really don't need him in the majors right now.

Just from browsing the forums I was getting the impression almost like a player can't max out if they didn't have proper time in every level of minors (kept seeing people say players will get stunted if they go to minors early), but maybe I was taking it too literally.

It might, but it also might not do anything. A lot of mights. BTW, I keep my players in the minors for a good amount of time and many of them still stunt. Players have different growth patterns. Definitely safer to give them proper progression in the lower leagues when they are young, but that guy isn't likely to improve much more either way. Updated Monday, April 2 2018 @ 7:29:10 am PDT
