Atlanta's pitching situation

With the braves new pitching situation, I'm thinking they'll go a lot younger, and a lot less injury prone. It seems like every year we expect a healthy year for Mike Mampton. Atlanta Front Office, it's time to rid of him. Same goes for Chuck James. They can both be great don't get me wrong, but It seems like they're a health risk. When they are healthy
they tend to give up too many hits and runs.
It's not just those two that can't stay healthy, or pitch well, it seems like half of the bullpen nowadays. The pitching staff, while reliable, is very very old. I'll take John Smoltz and Tim Hudson, but when you add in Tom Glavine, that's one veteran rotation. I'm a big fan of Tom Glavine, but I'm curious how he'll hold up down the stretch.
I see a few bright spots in the rotation and bullpen, but for now, I see growing pains. I think in a few years Jair Jurrjens and Will Ohman can be two of our best pitchers. If they can stey healthy and produce, they could be a big help to a weak pitching staff.
