Braves Player Projections: Starting Pitchers

2016 was a weird season for the Atlanta Braves in a lot of ways. For one, the offense was historically poor in the early months of the spring and summer, but turned it around dramatically as the season drew to a close. The rotation was the opposite: thanks to a good month from Matt Wisler and Julio Teheran’s resurgence, the rotation was unremarkable but steady for the first half. In the second half, though, it endured very rough waters. Despite Julio Teheran soundly rounding it a bounceback season and Mike Foltynewicz showing signs of putting it all together, seven different starters posted sub-replacement level performance levels in the season’s second half.
