Atlanta Braves Pre-Spring Training Roster Predictions, Part 3
By Ryan Cothran
Rotation
2. Alex Wood
4. Mike Minor
Honestly, I have little desire for the Braves to break camp with Eric Stults, Wandy Rodriguez, or Chien-Ming Wang as the 5th starter, regardless of their value at the trade deadline. I want to see what the kid has to offer at the big league level. Sure, one of the aforementioned veterans might bring back a C prospect, but I’d rather see one of our B+ prospects learn on the fly and be ready to be dominant when the time comes. Stash a veteran or 2 a half an hour away or in the bullpen and let’s see some new blood in Atlanta.
