Question for my fellow Braves fans

[lawcalcock]

Am I the only one bothered by Julio Tehran being the opening day starter? I love the addition of Donaldson at third. By I am worried about the pitching staff!

I would have stayed Folty over Julio. Where will Camargo fit in? Will McCann start instead of flowers? Interesting year coming up

I agree. Couldn't break with tradition I guess. Was hoping it'd be Folty.

I don't keep up as closely as I should. Do we expect some of the younger guys to be in the rotation this year?

Folty is hurt, I think (elbow).

That being the case....I would've started ANYONE over Julio.

My understanding is Folty is dealing with arm soreness and will miss a few weeks. But still thought some of the young arms would be ahead of Tehran by now? I'm worried!

As many high picks as they have invested in pitchers some of them should be good to go!

From what I've read Teheran's start is due to combination of other arms (Gohara, Soroka) not being ready/injuries and Teheran's strong performances in past openers and in Philly.
He's having a decent spring, too, so maybe that factored in.

I like the guy and hope he figures it out.
