Firstly, I never, ever, ever bother with sending "real prospects" to the DSL/VSL, I find it to be a waste of time. Why? Because you're starting their pro service clock, and the leagues, if they mimic real life, mean absolutely positively nothing. I've made the mistake many times of falling in love with DSL stats IRL and getting burned. So it's GCL and up for me from the complex.

I'd turn relativistic ratings on for the purposes of analyzing who to promote from the complex to GCL. 1-100 and 20-80 scale, 50 is average across the board. Using 1-100 scale, I'd typically want to see 35/30/20/30/30 or better before even considering promoting. Anything under that and the player in question is likely to hit like .125/.175/.240 and you've burned a year of pro service time (thinking down the road for the Rule V draft). You could want to be safer than me and not promote until he's got one GCL-league average skill (contact, or eye). I'm of the mindset that playing games in a real league, especially where I stack coaches of "outstanding" or better is better then being in the complex.

35/30/20/30/30
30/40/40/55/40
50/35/15/35/30

Stuff like that is when I'd promote. As for pitchers, I think 35/35/35 or 40/40/40 would be a good place.

But this is all guesswork on my part. I had the system down pat pre-relativistic ratings, and find myself having to relearn benchmarks. All my filters are basically useless now, lol.

Basically, to sum this rambling up - there's what I'd do, right now, which is subject to change. YMMV.

Live long and prosper. May the Force be with you.
