Pitching Staff

Atlanta's pitching rotation is full of talent and accomplished pitchers. The Braves starting rotation is one of the best in the National League. Tim Hudson (out last season due to injury) will be a big addition to this years season. The Braves also have several very young starters. Tommy Hanson, Jair Jurrjens, Kenshin Kawakami, and Derek Lowe are all very skilled pitchers. The Closers and relief pitchers for the Braves has a couple of flaws but the addition of Billy Wagner will hopefully make a difference. Aside from the weakness in the bullpen, the Braves will be solid on the mound.
