I heard that and disagree completely. We have replacement level guys in the minors and below replacement level guys starting. The object is to play guys who can help us win now, not guys who could have helped us win 3 years ago.

The young guys might play poorly like the current ones, or they might play out of their heads.

If we had a 5 game lead I could see the reason for taking the safe route. We need to make up games, I think we should go with the higher ceiling option.
