ATLANTA -- It is certainly hard to argue against claims that the starting rotation will serve as the Braves' weakest link this year. The No. 1 starter, Julio Teheran, looked like a middle-of-the-rotation piece in 2015, and the projected No. 3 starter, Matt Wisler, has made just 19 career starts, five of which were completed after prolonged struggles led him to a brief stint in the bullpen last year.
Still, it could also be argued that the rotation will also be the most intriguing element to evaluate, as the Braves progress through the second season of their rebuilding process.
