That resonates better, yes ... sorry for misinterpreting your view of the situation...
Whether I agree or not, your position is certainly REASONABLE when you say that Danny Hultzen would be a rush job, even if Paxton were not in the picture. How many pitchers skipped the minors? There are 9,000 minor league pitching coaches who would hold your jacket for you while you shouted that one over a megaphone...
And here they are, adding a second SP who has Lincecum / Verlander / Weaver minors time at best ...
Can sympathize with the shock factor. Prediction here, however, in terms of theory-vs-practice - is that Paxton and Hultzen will pitch well in April 2012.
