1. Rookie Ball to Low A
2. Low A to High A.
3. High A to AA.
4. AA to AAA.
My own opinion, based upon not much more than instint (as I am new to this forum and also new to a more vigorous study of the farm system) is that the jump from AA to AAA seems to be a "big" leap. Again, I wish I had some statistical justification for that. At this point, its not necessarily a rational thought, just an idea.
I take it as a given that the most difficult promotion of all is to get from AAA to the majors. But as I am typing this, I wonder if some will disagree with even that assumption. Also, do you consider that you would give a different answer for pitchers as opposed to position players?
FYI, this is a great forum. I am glad to participate.
