The last few months have been disastrous for the Atlanta Braves starting rotation, as the club has lost their entire Opening Day rotation to the 60-day IL, and have seen sub-optimal performances from the starters they picked up off the scrapheap or called up from the minors.
But, seemingly out of nowhere, top prospect Hurston Waldrep has emerged as a potential staple for the rotation going forward. After two impressive outings in the bigs, Brian Snitker and the Braves have revealed what their plan for the rotation is going forward, at least for now.
Snitker said he plans to use a six-man rotation as long as he can.
