In the on-line league in which I play, my starting catcher just went down for a few weeks. I am in the middle of a close race and am considering calling up a top-30 prospect from AAA. The prospect has about 3 months of experience at that level and after a slow start is hitting .290/.348/.500 but the Minor League System Report does not indicate that he is ready for promotion.

He appears to be my best option for replacing the injured player, but I am concerned that early promotion might harm his development. If anyone has any thoughts on this matter, I'll appreciate your input.
