It can hurt. There is no set in stone formula though. You just have to use your collective gut feeling and game experience in moving players through your system.
I usualy base it 50/50 on stats and ratings. If a player hits certain ratings and is tearing up the league he is in over a large sample size then I move him up.
I hardly ever take age into consideration. Only time I ever do so is if I have a guy in his late 20s in A/AA and I try and force him up to get at least something out of him by chance.

An 18 year old can play at the ML level. If his ratings are near what you have in your minors then I would leave him in the minors.
Real roster sets are hard to judge since players come into the game with high ratings as young players.
