Minor set up

[aquilotti1]

Im playing franchise. Im trying to figure out what’s the best way to get out of the minors in terms of who plays in which minor teams. What’s best for development? My thinking was always the really young guys teenagers basically put them in single A. Young good prospects with a good potential and early 20s in double A and older guys who have not much improvement to make in AAA. Let me know if anyone has other suggestions.

My high upside prospects always reside in AA. I will place some high upside players in A if they have 59 or lower overalls rating. AAA is for everyone else, older prospects, C or D rated prospects, or for a player I want to keep but don't have room on my MLB roster.

Single A is also where I rotate and shuffle some of my relief pitchers to, between Single A and MLB. I dont want them using their energy stamina or risk injury by playing AAA or AA ball.

Always make sure your higher potential prospect is starting at their perspective level.

For example, if you had a 66 ovr SS with B potential and a 67 ovr SS with C potential, you need to send the 67 up or down. This is because he will start over the higher potential player, thus stunting his development.

With pitchers, I try and get their per-9 stats above 50-55 each, and at least an ovr of 70 before I call them up to the big leagues. IMO it gives them a fair fighting chance. If needed I will call them up for a spot start due to an injury, then send them back down. You can also cheat the system a little bit and pitch for them for a few starts to see some increases in their stats.

As far as where to put them in terms of overall, I follow this:

Below 59-A
60-64-AA
65+-AAA

Of course this all depends on how good or bad your farm system is. After a year or two of retooling is where it starts to line up accordingly. I can on certain prospects have them MLB ready by age 24 or 25. Just also make sure you have really good coaches.
