I have no problem with a team elevating a rookie to a starting position before he performs well (although even in those cases, most often they at least show something at the minor league level that demonstrates they are ready). That's not really the main issue, anyway. By far, the bigger issue is teams dumping good-to-great performers before they show any inkling of falling off. You can't tell me that it's realistic that barring injury, the previous year's CY winner would be in the minors or dumped into FA, where no other team would take a shot at signing them.
