PITCHING
Julio Teheran C+ Julio took a big step back and a small step forward in 2015. He’s still only 24 and has averaged more than 200 innings in his three years with the Braves, so there’s plenty to like. Right now, he’s a solid #3 starter.
Shelby Miller B+ Expectations factor in our grades. Shelby was better than anticipated, Julio worse. But their seasons weren’t much different. Each struck out 172 and walked 73; Shelby pitched five more innings and allowed six fewer hits. The big difference: Julio gave up 27 HR, 14 more than Shelby, who had a 3.
