As one of the many benefits of DUMP membership, the league office will issue
regular updates regarding certain prospects. At least until we are able to
generate a separate mailing list for DUMP members, this information will,
regrettably, have to be shared with the general league membership.
In our inaugural update, we are pleased to be able to focus on a young man
who, at least in the opinion of one highly respected professor of law and
acting dean is "the Man".
CRAIG HANSEN
Mr. Hansen marked his return to the major leagues with a less than stellar
outing. He is an accomplished college reliever with a potentially
overpowering repetoire, but faces two significant obstacles: 1) he's not ready for the
Red Sox and 2) the Red Sox are not ready for him.
He threw 7 pitches tonight and found far too much of the plate, giving up
two hits and one earned run. His principle competition, Jon Papelbon, threw
1.1 innings, struck out 3, and secured the win. Papelbon's ERA dropped to 0.30
and his ratio to 0.66. The MAN is named Papelbon. Craig Hansen looks like
like nothing better than a reasonably solid middle reliever, for the
forseeable future. DUMP says at $5 or less on a rookie contract this guy is a very
nice keeper. At $5 or more and on anything other than a rookie contract, DUMP
says stay far, far away.
More to follow.....
