Mark Bradley: Make Hanson the closer? 

Post#1 » by HMFFL » Fri Nov 6, 2009 6:33 am

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.

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