The guide itself:
If your team does not have a R+ league, what is your recommendation - should players repeat in a different rookie league? This specific example is for the Indians, who have 2 Rookie leagues, but then go directly to A- (without a R+ league).

I always dislike organizations without a rookie+ team because it does kind of throw my system out of whack. The honest truth is that the difference in level of play between rookie and rookie advanced is small. The players that you would normally promote to R+, you just have to leave them for an extra year in the GCL/AZL. Something I do if I have two rookie teams without an R+ is designate one of them as your "1st year team" and the other as your "2nd year team". That can at least help keep it organized. I'm also slightly more aggressive in promoting 19 year olds to A- and A. a side effect of that is that I'm sometimes forced to keep a few raw college draftees in rookie.
