Calling up a player too early??

Question: I drafted a 19 year old player who is a 5 star recruit. He started out in AAA. What it hurt his potential if I called him up too soon? The reason I ask is he is actually rated better than 1 of my Outfileders currently on my team. His ratings:

okay, thanks. I usually listen to my scout and my scout hasn't said he is ready. Surprised he started in AAA though, but he was 1st overall pick. I'll try and sign backup OF via FA instead.

he might be ready to play ok, depending on the ratings of your other players and those around your league. The better question to ask is regarding finances. The sooner you sign him, the sooner you will have to shell out big bucks to keep him after his auto-resign and arbitration years

yeah, I was thinking about that. I will proably wait and just call him up when the 40 man roster goes into effect. 35 games into the season and he is batting .321 with 10Hr's and 25 Rbi's.
