Hanson looks like a special talent, and this may be the last year that he'll be available at less than a premium price. 15-0-3.25-1.20-170 in 195 IP
Positives / Upside It was well-known last spring that Hanson was a great prospect, but the future became "now" in a hurry, as the Braves' wunderkind racked up 11 wins, posted a 2.89 ERA and fanned 116 hitters in 127.2 innings pitched. Hanson's ceiling is enormous, and there's no reason to believe that he won't build on his '09 success and become one of baseball's top hurlers in 2010. 18-0-2.95-1.15-190 in 220 IP
Negatives / Downside Simmer down now, Tigger -- before you go off to engrave his plaque for Cooperstown, let's keep in mind that Hanson has thrown just over a half season's worth of innings in the bigs. Hitters will invariably adjust to him, and unless he adapts in kind, he'll struggle. Baseball history is littered with hot-shot young pitchers who started off like a house afire, and ended up the same way -- a smoldering pile of ashes. Hanson's talented, but until he shows his stuff for at least a full season it's hard to buy in on the whole "ace" thing. 13-0-3.45-1.30-145 in 175 IP
Recommendation Go the extra dollar
