November has been good to the Atlanta Braves. Aggressive moves for free agents have left them in an enviable position compared to many other teams.
The Braves added what they hope will be 400 innings to their rotation in the past week. Between Teheran, Foltynewicz, Wisler, Colon, Dickey and Collmenter, that probably provides at least 900-950 starting pitching innings.
Note that it requires 972 starter innings to reach a ‘Quality Start threshold’ – that’s 6 innings in each of 162 games.
That itself is probably good enough to get through the season.
