Tommy Hanson is overrated

He finally allowed a run -- the Braves might as well trade him.

Kidding, of course. Hanson's AFL stats continue to wow: 18.2 IP, 6 HA, 4 BB, 30 K's. He may be the Braves' best pitching prospect since Steve Avery, though you could make a case for Kevin Millwood and Adam Wainwright. 

Kris Medlin is also impressing in 'zona: 15 IP, 12 HA, 1 BB, 17 K's. In the 'pen, Stephen Marek has logged nine scoreless innings. At the plate, Ty Flowers continues to mash, with seven homers and a .352 batting average. 

Mixed results in Mexico for Jordan Schafer. The good: .281 BA, .361 OBP, seven steals. The bad: 23 strikeouts (in 96 AB's) and a paltry .354 slugging percentage. The strikeouts worry me.
