If a guy's 26 and can't get out of rookie or short season ball, I cut him so fast his head spins. Once they make the full season leagues (A and above) it's all about potential and performance. Age limits are useless for AAA, because you need your emergency starters or backup utility infielders, who tend to be older.

I've done some research on this in the real world. These are the cutoff ages in terms of when a prospect needs to be moved through a level. If he isn't ready to move up by this point, he's really struggling:
Rookie: 21 Short A: 22 A: 23 Advanced A: 24 AA: 23-24 AAA: 24 For AAA you are going to need the older players there for backups in case of injury or whatever as the previous poster said, but if your top prospects aren't ready for the call by then, they're really falling behind. Oh and rookie is kind of strange, as there are two distributions of age and cutoffs. High school, international signings, and college players all end up there. Usually the player should only need one year there. 2 if very young and very raw. Last edited by stealofhome; 05-17-2014 at 10:35 AM. |

I'll hold on to 1 or 2 older players at lower levels if...
Also, I like to turn older players who may never make the majors into coaches. Just go into Commish Mode, retire the player, and give him coach ratings and watch where he goes. It's kind of an ant farm thing, but most of the best coaches were never star players. |

That's a good idea, having the older minor league players become coaches. A lot of the coaches and managers around baseball now (especially in the minors) are former players who peaked at AAA and only may have had a cup of coffee in the big leagues and that's it. They definitely help to develop the younger prospects. I might do that with some of the older minor leaguers I have no in my fantasy league.
