I'm playing as the Mariners, have a high-rated head scout, have 12,000,000 devoted to player developing, and about once a month I demote/promote players. So what am I doing incorrectly?

Thanks for the help!
My rule of thumb is once a player starts playing at a level, he stays there for the season, while there are exceptions to every rule, most players I will not shift up and down during the season. matter of fact I lock all my players to their teams. If I make any adjustments it is when the Rookie League and Short A start playing in June. This system works very well for me. Also check your MGR and Coaches, Personalities, & style as well as his personal relationships at the lower levels and see what thier traits are, doesn't do much good to have a Single A Batting coach who works well with veterans.

You really don't have enough info on a month-to-month basis from a statistical or ratings moment standpoint to make demotion/promotion decisions that often imo

Patience is a virtue when developing players, and the more info you can get, the better
