As a corollary don't let a prospect die on the vine because you have him blocked. Give him away if necessary.
Funny you should mention this, as the AI-controlled team I took over for in my current league was definitely hoarding AAAA position players and really had wrecked the AAA and AA teams, something I'm still fixing in year three, and am likely going to get fired before it's better.

And I just DFAed a young SP that the AI had put on an MLB contract but I have no room or use for, so I am likely just giving him away!
