And those young pitchers can start next season in Syracuse. You shouldn't depend on them from day 1. They should be called up if the good, solid veterans we sign fall through.
Why are we always expected to rush our prospects up. Other, mature, FO let their young players spend time, sometime lots of time, in the minors and don't expect them to perform in the majors so quickly.
Hell, I might consider starting Zimmermann in Syracuse and certainly Strasburg.
Are you stupid? Why would a rebuilding team send a starter like Zimmermann who is one the 30 best pitchers in the NL to Syracuse? We would be retarded if we did that especially for some veteran retread in the Daniel Cabrera or Tim Redding variety.
