Elder: Zack or Socks?

I know a lot of you are concerned about the Braves’ starting pitchers. Let me start by saying that every fan of ever team ought to be concerned about their starting pitchers every March. Even when the Braves had Maddux, Glavine and Smoltz, there were still concerns about the other two starters. And every pitcher is an ulnar collateral ligament away from an extremely well-paid vacation. And all of our top 4 pitchers have injury question marks of some sort, as do most of those in the wings.

You know who doesn’t? Bryce Elder. Instead, of course, the criticism directed at Elder is whether or not he sucks.
