Rookies

Hello, I am new to OOTP and have a question concerning rookies and player development. I have a few star calibur pitchers in my minor league teams that are around 22-24 years old. Their ratings aren't that good yet, but their talent is very nice. What I would like to know is this: Will the player develop quicker and better once he gets a spot on my starting rotation? And also, are minor league player's ratings in comparison with big leaguers or are are they so low because they just haven't proven themselves at a major league level?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If you bring the Minor Leaguer up too early he will not do well and his ratings will go down. If the player is 24 years old and has at least a 4 rating in his strong categories I usually bring them up for some Major League seasoning.

I have a question...are these players pitchers or batters and what level of ball are they at?

These are pitchers and they are in AA and AAA.

Thanks,

I don't recommend bringing pitchers until they have an ERA Rating of at the least 2 or 3.
