The Braves are gonna need 7 or 8 guys over the course of the season in the rotation due to injury/performance, etc, that Ian will have a chance to prove himself one more time but I do think that this is his last shot.

You can make the argument that Ian is below the top 7 or 8.

We know Fried, Strider, Wright, Morton are the four locks, with Shuster and Dodd the two guys battling it out for the fifth spot.

So that's 6 right there.

Considering how last season ended and because he has more complete pitch arsenal, gotta imagine the front office favors Elder ahead of Ian despite both getting sent down to Gwinnett. And you also have to think they also still have more hope for Soroka getting healthy than Ian developing the slider.

There's your 8.

So it's basically Ian and Allard battling it out for 9 and 10.
