As far as drafting age, I never draft anyone older than 20 who doesn't already have >0 rating in the applicable skill (for pitchers avoiding runs, for hitters getting hits) because that typically means they'll never develop great ratings, even if their talents are high... a 23-year old SP with BRILLIANT in avoiding runs but a 0 rating is very likely not to develop into his full potential (from what I've seen).
Herein lies my problem, I guess. I'm flooded with minors I've kept, at each level, there's always somebody sitting idle. And I'm not talking about pitchers either! I guess I need to do some major cleaning up. I've got at least 30 players at each level...not sure what a good amount would be. =l
