Smart to stay away from the blog in a Hanson start, but here I am. He can get under my skin pretty bad, but here I am like an idiot.

Trade Hanson this winter cant stand watching him pitch .Braves leave SD scoring two runs playoff team alright. This pitcher has it made he gets strikeouts on a ball. If i was the Rockies next week bring up four soft tossing pitchers and they win 4 games.

I’d really like to see them give Delgado another shot at it, rather than continue to watch Hanson pitch the way he is.

Seriously, Tommy can only be utilized in long relief in the pen. Can’t bring him into a tight game in the 7th and wait for him to figure out if he can throw a strike.

Suffice to say, Tommy Hanson sucks. Wish he was out of this rotation. The Braves won a lot of his starts in spite of his pitching, not because he shut teams down. Medlen is shutting teams down, Hanson couldn’t do what Medlen is doing right now in his best season.

When Fredi throws bp to the guys he always throws the “Tommy Hanson Special” to get their timing just right before a game. It’s helped a lot of the guys.

Agree… surprised so many think that he is tradeable. Look at his stat lines, it’s horrible. No way I’d trade for that. He hasn’t gotten any better lately. I’d want to see him to be better for at least half a year before I trade for him. Hence, he won’t be traded this offseason.
