Granted, he just allowed a solo homer to give the Angels the lead, but I was pretty impressed by Hansen. This was the first time in his career I've seen that "nasty slider" scouts had talked about and he was throwing some serious heat. He'll probably throw another inning, I'm interested in seeing how it goes.

Gosh, that 11-3 GO/AO ratio is sexy.
His slider was also quite a bit better than I've heard it advertised. It wasn't as consistent as I'd like, but he ripped off a few real nasty ones. All I need to see is 1 start to realize he's already better than Jon Lester, especially since we know he has better control than he showed. Very nice debut.
