You know, maybe it is stupid, but there are plenty of teams that use the DL for a mid-season break, and I'm sure you can find some pretty smart writers saying this is the next step in preserving arms. I think this is one Verducci has written about. I think someone posted it less than a month ago. That said, the primary focus is on rehab for Strasburg, and if the rehab regime works better not taking any time off and just burning through the innings, then that is the smartest course.
