Good Article on Medlen by Jayson Stark

[jpx7]

From the article, and why I think he's solidly in the number-two range with Minor (and hopefully Teheran if he can maintain his rookie performance level):

He’s a strike-thrower whose 3.59-to-1 strikeout-to-walk ratio is the seventh best among all active starters with at least 500 career innings. "I always trust myself, and the guys behind me," he said. "Of course, it’s easy when you have Andrelton Simmons behind you and Jason Heyward. They’ll run some balls down for you."

Medlen is absolutely a #2. The team needs Teheran to take that step to ace level because I'm not sure that either Medlen/Minor can get there.
