Atomic RoadRunners | Andrew Flynn’s High-Energy Fantasy Baseball

No knock against Thomas Hanson. Picked up by the Roadrunners after his no-hitter in AA, I thought that he might be a good minor-league keeper. The problem is, he’s not really that impressive a prospect, and needs some work. For example, in his start after his no-hitter, he couldn’t get out of the third inning. With the addition of Jaime Garcia today, Hanson becomes expendable.

Plus, we’ve had bad luck with Braves pitchers this season. Chuck James was protected and now is shaky at best in AAA Richmond. Peter Moylan was the closer for one day before having to go under the knife with Tommy John surgery. Manny Acosta was erratic and inexperienced. Jorge Campillo pitched well before being excised from the Roadrunners by the WBRL. Don’t forget Charlie Morton is still on our bench as a testament to inexperience. Thus far, only Mike Gonzalez has proved his worth, so we’ll be avoiding Braves pitchers for the rest of the year.
