When I did so, another member of the league expressed concern that I was rushing him. He stated that I should put him in AA where he is 80/80 rated because:
1. Being at the same level for too long harms morale which hurts development.
2. Prospects get potential dev boosts each individual level that they're promoted.
He said he read it in the manual and/or on the OOTP forums but couldn't recall where. Has anyone else heard of either of these mechanics? I was only aware of a mechanic where players development could be hurt if they're too advanced for their minor league level.

Never heard of this and it is for sure not in any manual I read and I just got done working on the OOTP Wiki and never did I see this mentioned anywhere.
I always check my players vs their rankings for what league they are in. If they are a 60/80 in A, I will find where they are like a 45 overall in a higher league and stick them in there. I am for sure NOT keeping anyone that is rated an 80/80 in A or AA. That player should either be in AAA, in the MLB, or traded if you are backed up in that spot.
It hurts a player a LOT more if they are in a level where they get no challenge. If they are hitting .400+ in AA, that's going to hurt them more than being in AAA.
