I think O'hoppe is ready for the majors from a positional standpoint. There's some room to grow offensively, so you could start him in AAA and call him up around the All-Star break.

I pulled this from the manual:
Minor league players who get little playing time might not develop as quickly as others. However, major league players and players on a reserve roster develop normally even without playing time.
So I'm curious as to why players think that the MLB bench would be detrimental to development? Is it tied to the idea that they need innings to develop positionally? If that is the case, is the manual wrong?
