The Pittsburgh Pirates don't want to rush top prospects Tyler Glasnow and Jameson Taillon to the Major Leagues, Neal Huntington says.
However, the general manager acknowledged that Glasnow and Taillon "probably" will be promoted at some point this season.
"In a perfect world, they have a full year in Triple-A," Huntington said. "It's probably not going to be a perfect world."
Pittsburgh's starting pitchers have the sixth-highest ERA (4.27) in the National League this season.
"We'd love to give our guys more experience in Triple-A than we have in the past," Huntington said. "I think the results when we're able to give guys a significant amount of experience in Triple-A shows. They make an easier transition, they tend to be able to adjust quicker at the major league level."
