Madison Bumgarner movin' on up!

Madison Bumgarner, the Giants' best pitching prospect, is being called up to the majors today.
If it was a surprise catcher Buster Posey got a September promotion, this is even more of a stunner considering Bumgarner is two years out of high school. He was the 10th overall pick in the 2007 draft.
The Giants might want to see how Bumgarner handles himself this month because he might be a candidate for a rotation spot next year.

Uhh... what?
I don't get this at all. I thought the idea was to give him another year. I was expecting this around this time next year. Seems like a reach to me.
Either way, I'm excited to see him and Posey!

Lincecum might be hurt, the only logic that defies this move.
