One prospect previously lost in the shuffle of top Atlanta Braves pitching prospects is Kris Medlen. Not anymore. Medlen first caught my eye in 2007, when he was used out of the bullpen. Clean mechanics, solid fastball, plus curve, good controlan intelligent pitcher. However, reliever prospects dont get much attention because of the sheer number of them, plus the fact that a team can always shift a starter prospect into the bullpen, which makes it even harder for a reliever prospect to standout. So I was intrigued when the Braves went ahead with plans to make Medlen a starter, a move with a much worse rate of success compared to moving starters to the bullpen. Medlen ended up thrivinghis numbers as a starter resembled what he put up in the bullpen. In fact, they were probably better. Medlen has continued his success as a starter early on this season. His numbers have been spectacular thus far: Medlen has a quality three-pitch mix — a better than average fastball, a plus curveball, and a solid-average change-up. The development of his change-up has been key to his success as a starter. http://www . allornothingtattoo . com http://www . brandonbond . com http://www . strangleholdmerch . com http://www . atlantatattootv . com To view Pictures of the Atlanta Braves getting tattooed at All or Nothing tattoo view: http://www.allornothingtattoo.com/gallery/thumbnails.php?album=163
