Hanson to the DL

[HaloCory22]

Angels placed RHP Tommy Hanson on the 15-day disabled list with a right forearm injury.

Hanson experienced tightness in his right forearm before his scheduled Wednesday start and eventually had to be scratched. He has registered an ugly 5.10 ERA, 1.55 WHIP and 33/17 K/BB ratio in 47 2/3 innings this season for Anaheim. There is no timetable for his return.

Looks like Roth is getting the call up. Tweeted "Third times a charm right??" earlier today.

Well Dipoto's gamble with the Walden trade certainly backfired.........

It was a good risk trade in my opinion.

Sign Brian McCann this off season and fix two problems. Catching and Hanson.

Yeah I didn't mind it. Walden has his injury issues as well and already missed some time with a shoulder ailment earlier this year I believe. Both guys are constant injury risks and a quality SP brings much more value to a team than a quality RP. It didn't work out, and I'd hope the Halos non tender Hanson after the year.

[gotbeer]

I have no problem with the trade.  Not hanson's fault that his brother died.  Before that happened, he was pretty consistent with a 3.86 ERA and 1 bad starts (against Houston, lol).  

 

And I also think people forgot how erratic Waldo was for us.  Then again, he goes to Atlanta and gets good, and Hanson goes from a good pitcher to an average pitcher.  Pitching coach anyone?

[bloodbrother]

I'm not a fan of Butcher, but Hanson getting worse has more to do with the injuries and declining velocity over the years. He came up as a top 15 prospect in MLB about 4 years ago and was throwing 92-95 mph to go along with his great offspeed stuff

 

Now, he's throwing 87-88 mph

[WallyWorld]

by this time next year we'll all have forgotten that Tommy Hanson once pitched for the Angels.

I barely remember him pitching for us this year!

"Tightness in the forearm"?

 

3-6 months.

[Sciosciapath]

One of the biggest red flag guys on all those Verducccciiiii lists

[Ray McKigney]

Hanson, Burnett, Madson. All solid off-season pitching acquisitions. Good job!

Not to mention the biggest (so to speak) acquisition during the offseason: Joe Blanton

I didn't mention him because he's been pitching better over his last few starts. But yeah, he has been disappointing too.

[Bruce Nye]

Are we sure Hanson is not pitching for another team and we don't know it?

[Jason]

Hanson is like that guy at work that seems to be absent more than he's there.

[Stradling]

What a bunch of jerks we are. Think about what we are talking about right now. We are complaining that the guy hasn't been pitching, without even acknowledging the fact that he missed time to be with his family during a death. Now he is injured and I'm guessing he would rather be playing than be hurt.

McCann would break his leg in spring training and be out for the year.
