If the Braves' offense picks up as it should (McCann is carrying the team right now), and Prado, Moylan, and (to a lesser extent) Medlen come back healthy, they could easily contend with the Phillies in the division. The Braves can and have survived with starting pitchers out, and I'm sure would consider giving up a good young arm for someone if injuries created a huge gap in the lineup. At this point I'm not sure the Braves are going to pull the trigger on anything, because Schafer has suddenly become the guy in center he was supposed to be a few years ago. McLouth is probably hitting the bench when Prado comes back, and will be a damn good 4th outfielder.
