No mention of Hanson?

has to be right there for ROY honors.....I would think he would be in front of Happ due to Happ has 2 wins as a relief pitcher and has 3 more starts then Hanson. Hanson is the only reason that the Braves are not out of the Playoffs by 10 games. Philly would win with or without Happ.

Thoughts?

Um he gets mentioned in every single ROY thread.

 

[abncollectsautos]

I dont think he is the only reason they are still in it, but he is a bog part. I do like him as the ROY though.

I thought Gerardo Parra would win the award?

Martin Prado is a bigger part


his offensive surge during that critical time is the real reason why the braves are making a nice little run here.

I would love to see a miracle happen and the braves win the wild card.

Are you referring to a specific article that didn't mention him or just generally you feel like he is entering people's minds when their hear the words "Rookie of the Year," as much as he should.

It hurts that they lost 2-3 to the Phillies. Other than that they have been playing well.

The Braves pitching has been the reason why they are in it right now. Vazquez, Jurjjens, Lowe, Hanson and Kawakami. Just solid. Javier Vazquez is having one of the most underrated seasons. As is Jair. Hanson is progressing nicely. I'd take him over all of the other young arms out there who have a season or less under their belt.

The same argument could be used for Happ, without him, the phillies wouldnt be ahead or as ahead. Happ is ahead of Hanson but its close...

Topps should have made his Red Hot RC an auto.

If Melden took his place (by the way, why can't they just let this guy pitch?!?!?) and Hanson wasn't polished enough to make his debut until September, they would be 6-7 games (or more) out of the wild card not 3.

Prado is a nice player don't get me wrong, but if Medlen went an admirable 7-5 w/ a 4.50 ERA instead of 8-2 with an ERA of 3.00 that is a huge difference in the standings. Battling 3-4 teams is hard enough, if they were another 4 games out of first it wouldn't matter who batted .100 or who batted .450.

Cutch.

Agreed, statistically he is having a better season than Parra (who is having a pretty good one in his own right).

Heh, you have been thanked!

We dont know where Medlen would be. For all we know hecould have gone 7-2 within the same timefram as HAnson. He could have also been 1-6. But Hanson is not the only reason they are still in it. He is a big reason, but Prado and Mcclouth are also big reasons.

I hope you aren't serious......Braves are 6 games above .500, Phillies are 17 games above.

Braves pitching rotation is the best in baseball.

This is why people have such issues with you, can you actually answer without sounding condascending? Or is this what happens when you realize you're wrong and no one agrees with you?

The phillies are 17 games above .500 for multiple reasons, ONE of them being Happ. Is that too much for you to comprehend?

Happ has had a great season, and I think he will get better having Lee around mentoring him. Though im one of the biggest Braves fans around, the Phillies are gonna runaway with the NL this season.
