I find it VERY hard to believe that Teheran sticks around or is even moderately effective. If I were him, I'd rather retire than pitch again for Atlanta after the way he was treated in the NLDS last year.
Gausman is a great 4-5 guy, but he's going to be our current #2.
Our best MLB ready pitching prospect is already having shoulder trouble, which is extremely worrisome. No, not the dirt bike, fluke injury variety... the "I don't know what's wrong, but it hurts" variety.
Then we have Newk, who walks everyone in sight.
Then we have Fried, who walks even more batters than Newk.
We'll be lucky to have Newk/Friend combine for the WAR that Bum should have as his floor for next year.
Our rotation is a huge liability that needs to be addressed. Thankfully AA knows this, regardless of what a bunch of message board jockeys think.
