I always forget.   Do I want to wait 20 or 25 games before calling up players from the minors?  Thanks.

20 minor league days.

Rule of thumb, makes it easy to remember:  If your minor league season starts with the Wednesday AM cycle, do your call-ups the following Wednesday after the AM cycle.  It's 22 games, but it's an easy way to remember and takes the math out of the picture.  If waiting an extra two games is going to be a problem for your team, then you probably shouldn't be holding them back in the first place.

Why do you wait to call them up?

crazyjoe: If you wait 20 minor league days, you'll save a season against the player's arbitration clock.

OK, thanks! I'm still getting back into this game after a long time off so I forgot some of the rules sometimes...
