Hi all- Thank you for your advice in advance!

I need to call one of these guys up to the Majors as my #5 pitcher. They're both in AAA currently but i need one to come up. About to start my 5th year as a Brewers GM.

Ratings relative to MLB

Pitcher A:
Logan Henderson (Age 27) - OVR 50 - POT: 55 | 50 Stuff, 45 Movement, 50 Control
Pitches -> FB 65, CHG 65, CUTTER 50
Stats in AAA
ERA: 4.05
W/L: 7/12
IP: 186.2
K: 203
WHIP: 1.12
HR/9: 1.3
BB/9: 2.0
K/9: 9.8
BABIP: .291
ERA+ 102
WAR: 4.3

Pitcher B:
Mike Rufin (Age 23) - OVR: 50 - POT: 80 | 50 Stuff, 55 Movement, 40 Control
Pitches -> FB 65, CRV 60, SLIDER 50, SINKER 35, CHG 35
Stats in AAA:
ERA: 3.39
Win/Loss: 2/7
IP: 74.1
K: 72
WHIP: 1.41
HR/9: 0.8
BB/9: 4.5
K/9: 8.7
BABIP: .299
ERA+: 122
WAR: 1.3

Technically they both COULD play in the Majors. They'd both will lose games. But they both could do ok.

I'm leaning towards Logan Henderson so I can let Mike develop more in AAA since he's 23 and has an 80 Potential, but what do you guys think?

I'd go with Henderson, mainly based on the control rating. Your instincts are also probably right about keeping the prospect down a little bit longer to develop.
