I was wondering why a certain player (POT 15 prospect) I own plays in only 5 games compared to others that appear in 15-20 games during the same time frame. I was going to dismiss the issue because last season he was playing Rookie ball, but the trend continues in class A ball as well...what determines how often players get in the game during minor league play?

Better (read more SI) players get selected more often.

Doesn't affect their development, but does deny you some insight. I ended up cutting Stahl last season largely b/c he wasn't playing. No idea what I had in him. (Not an issue for Quinlan - very nice prospect).

That particular scenario was one of my suspicions and thankfully a reasonable one at that. Steve strikes again w/ very realistic yet challenging game play. Thank you for the answer sir, I appreciate the insight.
