Braves fans better hope so or at least find a medium between his 1st and 2nd half. It is a good thing he isn't the ace but a decent back end starter.

Agreed. I have a lot of faith that he "figured it out," though.

More worried about Medlen repeating, honestly.

He is lightening up in Dominican league I read. Depends on how Braves tinker with his motion. They did last year and it had horrible results. They are said to be letting him pitch his way again and results have improved. Only issue is he has a violent delivery and could be susceptible for injury.

Teheran scares me. But I'm holding out hope.

Minor could be Braves version of Hughes, as Hughes looked better over second half than first.

I think Minor will be fine. It wasn't anything with his mechanics or anything. He just started trying to do too much when someone got on base and it snowballed on him from there. Even when he was struggling he would sit down 8 or 9 in a row to start the game and look good doing it...then a guy would lead off with a double and shite would take a turn.

Medlen has always pitched like he did last year from what I have seen. Maybe not with those kind of results, but he has always been a high K/low BB guy who is able to throw all of his pitches for strikes.
