First spring games will give Fredi look at young arms
"We're probably going to give a couple young guys a start early on," said manager Fredi Gonzalez. (AP)LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. -- There have been many instances when the announcement of a Spring Training rotation provides fans and media members a chance to project who is lined up to serve as the Opening Day starter. Such is not necessarily the case for this year's Braves, who count Julio Teheran as their only logical candidate for this honor.
"He's just got to survive," a smiling Fredi Gonzalez said when a reporter sarcastically asked him what Teheran needed to do to earn what would be his third consecutive Opening Day start.
