While I don't actually disagree (personally) that players will continue to develop, this should not be pinned for at least 2 reasons.
1) It is opinion, a forum-fact, if you will, and not something that can be "proven" one way or the other like the number of days to wait before call-up.
2) It is potentially mis-leading to new owners who see this and then think that it is the "right" move to call up their talented prospects immediately if they are better than what is at the ML level now. I know *you* think they should do so in almost every case, but many successful owners (myself included) strongly disagree and think it overlooks the very important money/roster management aspect of the game.
But I do think guys will develop, and eventually can be studs at a much higher cost for you or for another team.
Somewhat related:
If you take your player to arb 3 times and never sign him to any long-term contract, when he elects to become a FA, can he still be a type A or B for your team? I think yes, but I want confirmation.
