Coppolella on Braves' crowded rotation: "We don't owe anybody anything"

The question has been asked many times over the past few weeks as the Braves added Jaime Garcia, Bartolo Colon and R.A. Dickey to the rotation: where are Matt Wisler and Aaron Blair going to pitch?

After all, both pitchers were top-100 prospects at some point in the last two years. It's a valid question.

This is what John Coppolella told the AJC about the state of the crowded rotation. He didn't pull any punches:

"As far as the way our pitchers feel, this may not be (politically correct), but if you don't like it, get better," he said.
