I have a 21-year-old middle infielder in AAA who is hitting over .400. He has hit his potential in power, but he has some development to do in contact, eye, and avoid Ks. My ML team is currently way out of the playoff race, so bringing him up is not urgent. However, I have a hole at SS and 2B at the ML level, and he is already much better than anything I have there.

My question is this: Will his development slow down at the ML level, even if he is getting the same amount of work? Is it better to struggle in the bigs or have success at AAA? I want to bring him up to see what he can do, but maybe patience is the better answer.
