Wednesday night on the Mostly Mets Podcast , I said I liked the Braves to win the division because of the depth in their starting rotation.

Today, the Braves signed Livan Hernandez, who was just cut by the Astros, to be their fifth starter. Apparently the Braves weren’t thrilled with the way some of their young pitchers looked in Spring Training, plus Tim Hudson’s going to miss the start of the season after back surgery.

I happen to love watching the Livan Hernandez Magic Show, so I’m all for it. But his acquisition probably doesn’t speak well of the depth in the Braves’ rotation I was lauding the other night.
