I'm curious to get some of your thoughts. Here are the players: Shane Warren - He's probably ready, but I don't have a need for him this season and he doesn't have the "He may have learned all he can.." message.Probably wait to call him up at the start of next season? http://brokenbat.org/player/187197 Don Robison - Not stellar. Velo hasn't bumped up like I had hoped. Is he even worth keeping around at all? Still has some development left. He does have the "May have learned all he can..." message. http://brokenbat.org/player/193331 Jackson Tygart - He's still young. Has a lot of development left, ratings not ready for the big league, but he has the "May have learned all he can..." message. http://brokenbat.org/player/178736 Larry Littlefield - He's close... but I would like to leave him down for another season. However, he has the "May have learned..." message. http://brokenbat.org/player/176946 Tony Bartley - He's still young. Has a lot of development left, ratings not ready for the big league, but he has the "May have learned all he can..." message. http://brokenbat.org/player/218469 Hilario Ramirez - He's probably ready, but I don't have a need for him this season and he doesn't have the "He may have learned all he can.." message.Probably wait to call him up at the start of next season? http://brokenbat.org/player/167914 Kyle Farr - He's still young. Has a lot of development left, ratings not ready for the big league, but he has the "May have learned all he can..." message. http://brokenbat.org/player/197608

When a guy hits 25, they are assumed ready (or not). By 25 the MiL growth is practically over...only ML exp to gain. You've got a commanding lead in your division (congratulations!) and I would have no issue bringing the 24 yo's up for some exp before next year (Robison and Littlefield). I would have issue with bringing up Tygart, Bartley, and Farr. I'd play them exclusively in the spring to get a jump on their exp gains (100 pitches/no hook and X-X pinch hitter in spring management settings). Good luck!!!

My team is out of it so I was planning to bring up all the AAA guys with majors recommendations so they can keep getting ABs this year. Is this a smart plan, or is there a way for them to keep gaining SI in the minors at this time, even though they aren't playing games? Then there is always the special case of Wendell Stewart: http://brokenbat.org/player/176251 24 year old with 121 SI. He was brought up too early by previous management so I had to let him spend 2041/2042 in AA/AAA to keep developing, which luckily worked. Even though he doesn't have a recommendation to be called up to the majors, could it still benefit him if I promote him now to keep getting 2042 at bats? The logic is next years he's going to be recommended as a 25 year old anyway, so just start now. If this could stunt him in some way I'd rather wait, so let me know if there's any reason to be cautious there.

I got a forum recommendation to flip Wendell Stewart from OF to SS this year and decided to try it as well.
