I would be shocked if Schlosser starts the season in the rotation.
Obviously, the Braves have something else percolating.

Looking at the schedule, it looks like Hale and Schlosser/whoever will make a total of 9 starts in April.
Interesting that we did bring back Horacio on the coaching staff. He has no ties to Fredi (maybe Richmond Braves?), Wren, or anyone else. Only Eddie Perez.
Thanks for that. He was another option I thought would have made more sense than Garcia. I don't want to go off on a harangue, but I believe while Harang (see what I did there) probably doesn't have a lot left in his tank, he's likely a better option than Garcia.
And, hell: at least maybe one of Hale or Schlosser (if not both) positively surprises. While there might have been less of a chance that Garcia would catastrophically implode, there was also much less of a chance he'd improve, develop, or otherwise exceed expectations.
Steamer and ZIPS both project a higher ERA for Harang than Garcia this year, almost half a point difference.
DOB just reported that the lefty the Braves had in today throwing was Luis Perez just released last week by Toronto. He also said he wasn't very impressive. Another guy coming off TJ surgery.
I personally think the Braves should just stick with Hale and Schlosser for the first few weeks, unless a really clear upgrade becomes available, but: Scott Baker, anyone?
Braves sign Harang.
signed harang....
hahahahahhahaha

Supposedly we are interested in Bedard as well.
Clearly Dalyn is the GM of our team right now.

Scott Baker, Erik Bedard among emerging options for #Braves. Baker opting out of deal with #Mariners, per @ChrisCotillo.
