Tommy Hanson is being penciled in as the starting pitcher for the Atlanta Braves on Saturday against the BrewCrew. Hanson is a must add in all formats, but he is probably not available anymore.
Hanson, the Braves #1 prospect according to Baseball America (and the #10 overall prospect heading into the season), first made news here on The Sports Idiot when he threw a no-no last season. I proved my intelligence by calling him a “decent prospect” at the time. Since then, dude’s stock has skyrocketed and you can rest assured that he will have a Cole Hamels like impact on the Braves rotation.
The 6′6″ Hanson utilizes four pitches to send batters back to the bench with their heads hanging low. His mid-90’s fastball eats up righties, which he complements with an upper 80’s slider, confusing curve, and steadily improving changeup.
To make room in the rotation, Kris Medlen has been sent to the bully.
