There's also the thing where teams will try to withhold a rookie for as long as possible unless they're a sure bet because once they start playing on the MLB roster, their contract starts ticking and then after a few years they'll get a higher salary in arbitration. So it's easier to just wait until they're fully ready so the team gets the best performance for the lowest price.

I've heard about that. The Twins owners are notoriously cheap and have been doing that with Buxon and Sano and some other guys the past few years.

Everyone does it with their stud prospects unless they need hem in some July. You'd be stupid not to in the front office but it's unfair to players who have already earned a promotion on merit and to players in general I guess
