Tommy Hanson

Pretty poor command and Peavy-esque recoil. He's got some work to do.

You and I were watching the Houston-Atlanta game. I don't know what game everyone else was watching. From the comments, you would've thought Hanson went 4 IP with 8 SO :lol:

Keep in mind he has never faced a major league batter until today.

He had a bit of a rocky start but came back with a solid scoreless second inning. 2 innings 2ks. With have a 9.00 ERA I believe it is 2nd best on the team as of now :lol: :lol:

Don't get me wrong. I think Hanson will be fine. But, honestly, this is why people get annoyed with prospectors. If the guy didn't have a good game, it's okay to say he didn't have a good game. Hanson was all over the place, hit a batter, walked another batter, gave up a few hits, only got 6 out of the 11 batters he faced out. People are always making excuses for prospect performances. But, of course, if a prospect goes 2 IP with no runs, he's the next coming of Randy Johnson. (BTW: What happened to the rolling eyes smilie? This would be the perfect place for it)
