Good afternoon gents, I am the guy who called said player to the majors right after the draft. The team I took over in the world Upper Deck was horrible offensively. The player I drafted was much better than any player I could have called up to the majors. I took a chance and played a 19 year old. He did struggle but he was the best that I could have played at the time. Personally I dont think anybody is wrong or right in waiting to call the player up or not. I was hoping to grab a wildcard spot and at the time of the draft I wasnt far behind in the wildcard standings. I did not make the playoffs but I dont regret calling the player to the majors right away. Hes going to be a great player in the future. I dont have him now but in the trade I got a great pitcher and I feel Scotsmet and I made a very fair trade and I look forward to competing against him in the future and making more trades with him

DGAF?

Haha. I was wondering the same thing. My guess was don't give a f***, but that didn't make any sense.

Yeah it wasn't a knock on you - think we both got a good player in the trade so works out well all round.

Just haven't seen many guys called up so quickly hence the question re ratings.

If they guys is better then who is in the ml then why not leave him there. Your best coaches are(should be) in the majors so why demote him(did I miss why)? I cannot comment on the player as you didn't link him.

He was better than Jake's ML alternatives hence the promotion to the Majors.

I've got better players at the ML level though so happy to let him develop for a year or two and bring him up when he's closer to his projected ratings. He'll only be 22 at that point and ready to make a big impact rather than struggle against top level pitching as he did last season.
