Hanson sucks. Been hurt, his velocity has dropped. He isnt the pitcher he was when he first came up gives up HRs. I hated him and am glad we got rid of him.

Damn, Hanson's stock fell so quickly. It wasn't but two seasons ago that the dude was one of the most coveted young pitchers in the NL.

His fastball has no movement its straight and he cant run it up to 94-95 like he used to, he sits about 88-90 mph with his fastball now. That s**t gets crushed. He still has a nasty curveball though. He also throws way too many pitches and is usually out of the game in the 5th inning

I think the Angels signing Hamilton was a much better investment than if they had spent the same money on Grienke, who I think is overrated. 5 years is a risk (for any player) but your guys lineup will be atomic.

Average pitching should get you 95 wins.
