Mark Bradley: Make Hanson the closer?

Slow times at the AJC?

I’m just throwing it out there, OK? So don’t all scream at once. (If you do choose to scream, please take turns.) So here goes:

With the re-signing of Tim Hudson, the Braves have six starting pitchers under contract for 2010. The baseball truism holds that a team can never have too much pitching, but this one just might. The obvious solution would be to make Kenshin Kawakami a reliever, except for a couple of things: He makes too much money (around $8 million) to slot into middle relief and he generates too many baserunners to close. So …. what about this?

Tommy Hanson as closer. http://blogs.ajc.com/mark-bradley-blog/ ... -a-closer/

Medlen needs to be given a chance to close if we don't offer arb to Gonzo and Soriano.

Awful idea from the start. I know im a liitle late, but this idea is absolutely horrid.

No, Hanson is one of our future Ace's. The other being Jair.
