Just like with Jerome Williams, the Angels avoided arbitration with their newly acquired pitchers Tommy Hanson and Jason Vargas.

 

Angels settled on a $8.5 million contract with Jason Vargas and a $3.725 million deal with Tommy Hanson. Which to me is a very good deal. READ FULL STORY CLICK HERE

Angels Acquire Tommy Hanson from the Braves for Jordan Walden



 

Angels have been very busy this off season just going through another trade. The Angels traded Jordan Walden to the Braves for 26 years old right handed Tommy Hanson. (Angels)

 

Hanson has a record of 45-32 with a 3.61 ERA in 108 starts over his four seasons with the Braves. Last year year he went 13-10 with a 4.48 ERA in 174 2/3 innings this year.

 

 I like this trade even with the concerns with Tommy's shoulder. I feel like he will be a very good 4th starter that will not have to go deep into the games because the bullpen will be stronger this year. He is a very good pitcher and he is still young, Also he is a very cheap and effective pitcher with a $530,000 salary last year. He is entering arbitration years season.
