OK Hero, I understand what you're saying but understand this. The Rockies wanted to give him more experience at Colorado Springs in high altitude and then allow him to make his major league debut this year (get his feet wet) and start next year in the rotation. They've had success doing it this way (Jason Jennings, Aaron Cook). If they let Francis go to the Olympics, that wasn't going to happen.
