My general overall approach is if their OPS+/ERA+ dictates a call up, I move them at the end of the season. I move players up or down during the season only due to injury vacancies. If a player is performing poorly over multiple seasons, they get cut. If they are over 25 and aren’t making it in sub-AAA ball, they are cut. If they turn out to be poor personalities, they are cut. If I do it right, after year three in my save I usually have too many quality players in AAA hankering for MLB starting roles. These you trade for more prospects you can fill in at A and AA levels.

Of course there are always exceptions to my general strategy and I look at every player not just my “studs”. This can be time consuming, but this part of the game, as well as creating custom logos and jerseys is what brings me the most joy in this simulator.
