IRL that is exactly what your player development staff/farm director/scouts do!
(Well, more the first two but since we don't interact with those people the scout will have to do)
They advise where they think a player is at in on his development curve and suggest when it is time to promote.
Geezuz! Gamey?
I don't think it is a widespread opinion but, on occasion I run across a discussion where someone will point out, almost brag, how they don't use "relative to league x" option because it is an exploit. Never understood it either


I look over my minors every month on the first. I use the relative button one level at a time, to see the player's ratings at that level and if the players the level below have developed enough to move up. If their stats aren't "up to their ratings" they stay put for now. IE
bring up relative to AAA and look at AAA and AA players. Move onto AA and look at AA and HA. etc. until I get through my system.
