2K12 Tommy Hanson's Revamped Delivery

Atlanta Braves Blog, Talking Chop, pointed to a tweet from Ken Rosenthal.

<s>#</s>Braves excited by Hanson's revamped delivery. He's more compact, making better use of legs. Shoulder issue forced adjustments. <s>#</s>MLB

This is good to know. Hopefully this will help him avoid future shoulder problems. He was showing all his potential in the first half of last season before the shoulder issue brought him back to earth.

Projections for him are pretty low so far. There was video of him last week throwing off the mound so things do seems to be progressing well. Maybe we have a buy low opportunity.

Plus he has a cool beard.

I have an option for one more year of Hanson at 15, so this news is key.
If he has a strong spring, I'd likely exercise that option unless I think the market won't go higher (15-S2 buy better than a 15-O keep, if you like the player).

I'm locked into him for $14 (it would cost me $10 auction money to cut him, so if he earns $4 he's worth it). In general, shoulders scare the crap out of me (see Harden, Josh Johnson, etc) so I'm not sure I'd be investing much money if I didn't have to.

My question is, will he be 100% at the start of the spring? I guess he needs some time to get used to the delivery. It was reported here that he won't have any limitations, so I'm optimistic:

Pitchers changing from an effective delivery because of physical problems scare the heck out of me.

Put me in this camp. You start compensating for one thing, something else goes wrong.

I'm keeping him, hope he goes nuts in April and then move him for a boatload in May. I can't get anything for him right now but I'd like to at least try further down the road, if his arm doesn't fall off first.
