Assigning first year players from draft

[achilles80]

I just completed my inaugural first year player draft. My question is in assigning players to the appropriate minor league team.
I assume assigning college players to Minor A leagues is acceptable while assigning high school payers to short season teams is most appropriate.

I usually start the teenagers in rookie ball and the college age kids in Short Season A. That's not a hard and fast rule though. Sometimes you may have to put some of the rooks into A-ball just to fill in the necessary positions. The most important thing is to make sure your best prospects go into the right level. A potential 5 star prospect with a current rating of 1 or lower should stay in A-ball, at least for a while, or until the minor league report says he's ready to advance.

The keys to handling the minors are:

1. Hire the best coaches you can find.
2. Don't advance your prospects too early.
3. Cut anyone who doesn't show improvement.

Basically what I was thinking. Thanks for your ideas.
