yabut for how long? Don't you want to expose him to some better competition this year, maybe a selection of good prospects from around the various systems?
No, honestly. He's young enough that a month and a half of AA is not going to materially alter his prospect status unless he flops and then loses confidence. At this point in the AA season, most of the actual prospects are gone. Guys who started the year well and are now in AAA, replaced by guys who flopped in AAA and have been sent down, and they're competing against guys up from high-A trying to figure it out. It's not a great developmental mix.
To add to earlier astute elucidations, best that he be the highest of the High-A highnesses for the remaining term before heading to the fuzzy boundary of the mountain and pacific time zones for a season of further seasoning against elevated-level, more mature prospects before a promotion next vernal occurrence to the most medium of medium of minor league levels.
