There are two (?) possible explanations - either our farm system is barren, or Sutter does not trust young players and is overly wedded to "experience".

Maybe a little from column A and B. I was a little disappointed that guys like Vandergulik weren't given more of a chance this year. I'm not sure it was necessary to sign a guy like Sjostrom when you had DVG in the minors and it seemed like he slotted in nicely last year when given limited chances.
But I also think at times guys like him, haven't had good camps and haven't really shown they are ready.
So it's a little of both I think.
Having Brian McGratton take up a roster spot all season doesn't help either.
