Cardinals Should Be Patient With Michael Wacha

He has big league stuff. He has the changeup, he has the curveball and the nasty fastball but you have to be careful with this guy. You cannot just throw him right in to the big leagues. To me, you have to treat him like Stephen Strasburg. You have to be extremely careful. Think about how much a starting pitcher is worth, think about what Grienke just got. Then there is Felix Hernandez in Seattle, think about how valuable these young pitchers are. You want to risk ruining it by rushing a guy? He only threw 21 innings last year.
