Agreed about getting them in every game. I just think if you can get the same development while reducing playing time and the injury risk that comes with it, why the heck not.
Went back and looked at two guys as an example of the ceiling thing if anyone is interested. The ceiling numbers are their actual ceilings,
not scouting ceilings.
Both guys are still mid 20's and could potentially reach their ceilings but you'll notice coachable ratings lag behind physical ratings. My 1st/3rd base coaches must have been pretty bad since Wascar is 6 points behind his ceiling in base running. All physical ratings are within 1 (and probably closer but we can't see fractions of ratings) except Wascar's range which is 2 points off).

I got both these guys in as many games as possible. I also called them up to the bigs early (Aguilera at 20, Rosario at 18), so the ML coaches probably had a not insignificant effect on their development.
