Only a few years ago, Hanson was considered to be a top prospect in the BRaves' farm system, but his production dropped off last season, when he was also placed on the disabled list with a strained back. Hanson's ERA has climbed in each of his four years in the majors, reaching a high of 4.48 last season.
