Are you only playing as the Mets, are you playing as their AAA and/or AA affiliate, or are you simulating every level?
If you are only playing as the Mets, it is your personal choice to bring them up or not. If you can hit with them at the Major League level as the user, then there is no good reason not to call them up, unless someone is in their way.
If you are playing the AAA/AA teams, the same applies. If you can hit with them, put them where you want and play ball.
If you are simulating, I would send them down to AA to start the season. I usually send most of my top prospects down to AA to start the season, especially if I plan on calling them up during the season. The reason why is to simply get them "hot". If they are "hot" they normally progress more than if they are neutral. If they get "cold", they progress a little slower. So once the player goes "hot", I will call them up to AAA, if they go "cold" again, I send them back down to get "hot" again. Simply put, keep them in a position to maintain success until you are ready to call them up to the bigs, everyone else that isn't one of your "top prospects" is a filler player so you can move around your top prospects and keep them hitting well.
Just my opinion though, I'm sure someone else may have a different opinion. I hope it helped.

This is an interesting take. I get it, and it's smart, but I just assumed (I have no data/proof to back my thought) they would develop quicker being in AAA or MLB because of the talent they're facing. Whatever algorithms they have for development have to take level of competition into account (no?). I mean the best way is to play with them in MLB, that way you have full control and as long as you do well with them that's going to be the fastest/best way. And worst case if you just can't play with them, as there are some players that I just don't do well with (for the life of me I can't hit with Freeman), you either send them down or trade them for a talent that you can play with. This also allows me to experience different players. I'm in the mindset of playing with players that I enjoy playing with, even if they don't have the best stats in that position. It keeps my interest much longer.
