First, international prospects are sent to the international complex. I usually leave them there until age 18 or 19, where the better prospects are sent to Arizona League. The others are used to fill my DSL roster.
Second, I've never tried promoting multiple prospects to the same level at once. Guys are gradually moved through the system as I see fit.
