h2r09 Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 DKnobler �@DKnobler Hanson goes to Angels for Walden As a Marlins fan i like it. I hated going up against Hanson. Don't like the deal from the Braves standpoint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobbob1313 Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 Don't understand Atlanta's motivation there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catchoftheday Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 Jordan Walden is a good pitcher that got buried in the Angels. Atlanta has a bullpen from hell ... games can be pretty much done by the 6th inning now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobbob1313 Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 That's cool. They gave up a good 26-year-old starting pitcher for a nice middle reliever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mets_bs Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 Hanson is injury prone which has put a halt to his rise to top of the rotation status and the Braves have a wealth of minor league starters that can replace him. Walden is an all star calibre reliever. Nice deal for the Bravos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fanofthefish Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 Maybe the Braves will go after Haren Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Beinfest Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 Well I guess nobody knows Hanson's medical situation like the Braves do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverBullet Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 Hanson was also a salary relief/dump from Atlanta's standpoint. Potentially upgrading their already solid 'pen is a bonus here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Beinfest Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 I would consider him more of a liability than a salary relief. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erick Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 He's definitely not a liability. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
