I don't think being younger is that great of a benefit right now when the Royals already have drafted players they are going to be waiting years for.
At this point you have Grienke, you hope Hochevar can atleast be a 4 or 5 guy. If Crowe has the goods top be a front 3 starter and you put in a guy like Strausberg who has ace potential all of the sudden you have a good rotation.
And the hope with Strausberg and Crowe being a bit older would be hopefully they can get up fast and figure it out so they're just entering their big days when the drafted hitters are ready.
