After last nights game, and frankly watching Medlen my mind is boggled. So serious questions for you all. What will be our starting rotation next year? We have a crazy amount of starting pitching. Lets take a look Hudson Hanson Medlen Beachy(at some point late next year) Delgado Teheran Malholm Minor Gilmartin(pry not right off the bat, but kid has looked decent in AAA) So thats 9 capable starting pitchers, 7 of which could all be ready by the start of the season. I dont even know where to start with this rotation. I would guess Hudson is the only lock out of the 9(Beachy would be too but he is hurt). I think we have a really good chance to solidfy the rotation for years to come and make a big move in a trade. We basically have 4 guys we could offer a team for a big name player. I dont know who it would be or anything, but I dont see any reason for us not to make a big move. Thoughts???

Scoggin signs with BravesBraves recall catcher J.C. Boscan from Gwinnett.
The Gwinnett game notes have catcher J.C. Boscan being transferred to Atlanta today. Likely taking Andrelton Simmons' spot, leaving Jack Wilson as the lone shortstop... for now. It was mentioned on Twitter that Brian McCann's wife is expecting, and he may miss a few days because of that.Any #votebourn hashtag on twitter from 12-4 today counts as a vote for Bourn. I created a new twitter and was able to get like 1500 votes in 15 minutes. Encourage yall to do the same!
#votebournThe Braves made several Minor League Moves today, promoting LHP Luis Avilan from AA Mississippi to AAA Gwinnett, LHP Cole McCurry from High A Lynchburg to Gwinnett, activating RHP Ben Sheets to Mississippi's roster, sending RHP Ian Marhsall from Lyncburg down to Low A Rome, and releasing DJ Carrasco from Gwinnett.
