Braves | Kris Medlen a backup option

Fri, 25 May 2012 10:54:53 -0700

The Atlanta Braves are more likely to trade for starting pitching than hitting this summer, but general manager Frank Wren says they may not even do that since they have SP Kris Medlen waiting in the wings. "We have a guy internally who's probably better than any arm who will be available, and that's Kris Medlen. He's never thrown over 120 innings in a season, so we've got to be careful with his innings. But if we feel we need a guy late in the season, we wouldn't be afraid to take him out of the bullpen and transition him into the rotation," Wren said.
