Hudson is a legitimate staff ace, Hanson has the stuff to be one of the best in baseball, Lowe isn't so far past his prime that he can't handle being a top of the rotation guy, Jurrjens has the tools but needs to get his velo situation worked out, and Mike Minor has been successful at every level he's pitched at (I sincerely believe he has top of the rotation stuff). Plus Brandon Beachy has done nothing but provide indication that he is a pretty danged serviceable major league starter in his own right if anything happens to the others.
I really think the pitching staff is going to be a strength this year.
we are on the same page... I believe your right. If the pitching and hitting can stay on the same page, watch out for the braves.
