I try to assign players to the minor league level where they can perform really well. I base it on their ratings. Then, when they have great stats, are too good for their lower level, and they are clearly ready to take on a new challenge, I will promote them to the next level.

Since Willie Mays is already 22 years old in 1953, and he has extremely high potential, it's possible that he could make a major improvement in his ratings for 1954. Maybe the development engine will accelerate his development because of his age. But, if it doesn't, and if it takes him an extra one or two years to develop because of his low ratings at the start, there may not be much you can do to change that.
