This.

The difference between AA and AAA is only about $5k per year.

But the difference in a signing bonus from being drafted even one round higher is more substantial.

With his developmental trajectory, he can improve his hitting skills by staying another year. As a 1B with poor running form (that Jay doesn't care about developing), he's not as likely to be injured as other position players.
