Hmm, let's see....
After the 2014 season, Medlen had 2 years of control left. My process would have seen him traded that offseason.
Instead, the Braves kept him, and he got hurt in ST 2015.
Next? You guys are soo ****ing smart right?

Who replaces him. Team was supposed to compete.

Pretty sure he had at least three years of control left following the 2013 season. He tore his ACL for the second time in 2014 spring training, which made him not the most attractive trade candidate.
The 2013 Braves won 96 games. Would have been unusual for any team to trade a cheap cost controlled pitcher with three years of control in that scenario.

Like most efficient processes, it's success relies on consistently following the process over a period of time.
I've already outlined where the replacements would come from: either internally by a guy likely acquired from trading an MLB pitcher a few years earlier, or by a FA pitcher signed to a 1-2 year deal.
The A's and Rays have shown how to compete by using this process despite a payroll equal to the amount of loose change rolling around in the center console of Steinbrenner's Mercedes. Add the Braves resources to that process, and it should sustain even better results.

He had 2 remaining. Stop arguing facts when you're wrong.
The A's and Rays showed how to do it with all their pitchers, and they remained competitive despite tiny payrolls. Add the Braves resources to that process and it will be even better.

Sure why not.
Did Medlen enter the 2016 season with 6 years of service time? Or did he finish the 2016 season with 6 years of service time.

I don't feel like holding your hand. Go look at tables for guys like Heyward and Machado.
Figure it out yourself you ****ing dip****.

So Medlen had less than six years of service time entering the 2016 season then.
