If you look at what pitchers seem to be the best now it's essentially all veteran guys.
Take a look at the starting rotations for the Astros, Dodgers, Red Sox, Cubs, and Yankees. All of these teams have a combined 5 pitchers under the age of 30 in their starting rotation.
The Cardinals (conversely) have 3 starters under the age of 30 and they would have more if they hadn't traded them away. Young pitching is problematic and massively inconsistent. Larussa and Duncan seemed to understand this very well.
