I think Milan should just play them with other regular starters and slowly bring them into the team. I really can't see why De Sciglio cannot play with Nesta, Silva and Abate against Lecce in San Siro with MVB in front of the defense. Or when leading 2-0 with 30 mins to go, Merkel can't come in for Boateng or Cassano.
I am not sure about all of them but as far as I know, a young player in Barca got experience first in B team before playing regularly in the first team CMIIW. Playing in Barca B and in small team in Serie A is similar, both are useful for young players to gain experience. MU do similar thing, playing youth with reserve team (second team).
We can't expect much from youngster without experience except the player is a wonder kid or super talent because we strive for a trophy. Even a Pirlo played with Brescia before playing with Milan (in Milan he still struggled in his first year to play as starter).
Either Italy make new regulation to let B team compete in lower level League (Serie C and B) or we have to send our young players out so that they get experience before they come back to Milan.
