LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. – The Braves are expected to have two or three of their many prospects make starts in the first week or so, but soon afterward they’ll settle into a rotation of five starters who will build pitch counts and innings aiming for the opening-day rotation.
As of now, manager Fredi Gonzalez indicated that five would be Julio Teheran – a lock for his third consecutive opening-day start – and, in no specific order, Bud Norris, Matt Wisler and veteran non-roster invitees Kyle Kendrick and Jhoulys Chacin.
