    Saying Medlen is an injury concern is the same as saying any pitcher in the majors are an injury concern. There was no reason to think that Medlen would get hurt. TJS happens so often now.

    Probably 80-90% of pitchers these days have had Tommy John surgery at some point in their careers. I mean seriously dude? It's part of the current age of baseball.

    If Medlen's injury is serious they have no choice but to sign Santana. I mean you can't have Garcia and Floyd in your rotation all year. One of them maybe, but not both.

    You can't count on Beachy, he can't go a week without having some issue pop up. I'm afraid he might be done.

    Since when do we even have money to sign Santana for this year, let alone a 4 year deal? Doing so might prevent us from signing Heyward long term.

Instead, having Beachy as one of the contingency plans, and slotting a better / more reliable starter ahead of him, would have ameliorated a lot of the issues that have arisen with the Minor and Medlen injuries.
    Exactly. I feel terrible for Medlen. But these guys just want to insult. That's what they do.

    How about calling up Javier Vasquez?

    When he retired, he said the only team he would play for is Atlanta.

    Could be wayyyy cheaper than Ervin Santana, 37 years old but he was always a pitcher not a fireballer.

    Does anyone think that it's possible that Medlen just has a forearm strain?

    Beachy just pulled his bicep. Lol

    I've read nothing to indicate the Braves have hit the panic button besides the posters on here talking about giving bad shoulder Santana $11-$14 mil
