LAKELAND, Fla. -- When the Braves came to Spring Training, they knew (barring injury) exactly how their starting lineup and rotation would look at the start of the regular season. They were confident they had enough depth to construct what could be an effective bullpen and also cognizant of the fact that their bench might be a problem.
Six weeks later, the lineup and rotation are still set to line up as projected. The bullpen picture has only been slightly altered by the emergence of Eric O'Flaherty, as well as Mauricio Cabrera's recent elbow soreness.
