Braves Call Up Hanson

Written by Colin on June 3, 2009 – 7:23 pm

Tommy Hanson is coming to Atlanta. He’ll make his first start for the Atlanta Braves this Saturday against the Milwaukee Brewers. Hanson has been tearing it up in Gwinnett for the AAA ballclub with a 1.50 ERA and 90 strikeouts.

Hanson will take the rotation slot previously held by Kris Medlen – who has been moved to the bullpen. It’s about time for us to see what Hanson can do – he’s the most hyped prospect the Braves have had in years. Frank Wren said it was time to call up Hanson when they determined they’d rather have him starting than Tom Glavine, who was released earlier today.

Looking forward to seeing Hanson? Will he flop or be the real deal?
