I really don't follow your logic here. If it's imperative to win now, then you sacrifice development. Right? Isn't that how the game (hell, every game) has been played forever? Now if you want them to develop into everyday regulars then of course you play them through this.
Greinke said he wanted out of KC because we couldn't win so early in Moose & Hosmer's tenure. Said he, Gordon, and Butler all took time. Zack is stating a longstanding belief but I'm surprised you disagree with him.
