The Winter Meetings are still rolling on (and if you want to hear John Coppolella talk to Grant McCauley about what’s been going on so far, then we’ve got you covered) and so far, the biggest Braves news hasn’t been a trade or a signing. It’s been the fact that Coppolella has once again put the onus on the young pitchers to earn a spot in the rotation. Although he didn’t name names, you have to figure that guys like Aaron Blair and Matt Wisler were placed in Coppy’s crosshairs with the comments he made yesterday.
This is some tough love from the Braves' GM, and it's more than fair.
