I've had the most success with pitchers

around these lines + or -
stuff -60
mov - 50
control - 60

I look for 3 or 4 plus pitches. or ++, +, 2 average. A lot of AAA and AA guys fall in these parameters. I and often find that the AI handles there MLB promotion awfully.

If they are young enough I'll RP in the majors immediately then the following year make him a SP. I've picked up several pitchers even at A+ that were ready for the bigs.

Maybe they are blocked on higher levels or the majors or maybe their gm favors veterans. No idea. Then its like they start out at 2.5 star potential and 2 years in the majors they blow up to like 4 or 5 stars.

And even in challenge mode the trade isn't bad because the other team doesn't value them. All their SP prospect are the ++ stuff or ++ control and 4 or 5 star potential already. But their biggest problem often is 3rd pitch change up at current 30 with potential 80 and chances of that developing is like getting hit by lighting. Maybe worst.
