I have a team with a pretty decent handful of starting pitchers. I am at least a 2 seasons from being competitive in my division. I had them all in AA last season with a good defensive catcher. Should I just keep them in the minors together and go through another season or would they benefit more from ML experience?
1) The only way any player will "benefit more from [BL] experience" is if the coaches are better at the BL level, and they usually are.
2) I'd caution against bringing up a "bunch" of players the same season, as they will all be arb eligible and then LT contract ready the same season if you do that.
This makes budgeting a bit more challenging and I prefer to space them out a little. Maybe bring up 1 or 2 this season, then the other 1 or 2 the following season for example.
