You can screw up a prospect by promoting too soon. I like this aspect of the game. I also like making the call whether I try to develop a guy as a starter vs reliever. When drafting I love selecting 'dual threat' prospects late who have ratings both as a position player and a pitcher. Before releasing a prospect I always check to make sure he has been tried in the opposite role. This has worked out for me a few times and it makes me feel smarter then I really am.
I use a combination of scout reports, stats and the player's intangibles ratings to choose when to promote a prospect.
I won't promote super young guys who don't have a good work ethic or intelligence even if they are performing well. I take a very measured approach with them. But if they have good traits and are mashing it I will speed them along.

Do you look at almost all your prospects? Like I'll find prospects with good potential and choose to worry about them. However I've decided to do a 1-5 ratings and no stars/potential league so I'd probably have to look for their stats a bit more.
