  • Quotes

    • "He was outstanding at Myrtle Beach from day one there. When we got him to Mississippi, after a short period of time, he threw the no-hitter and continued to pitch well there. As he moved to the AFL, he continued to make another jump in terms of the consistency of his stuff. From High-A to Double-A, from Double-A to an All-Star Double-A league like the AFL, he was able to match and raise his game at each of these levels. That is quite an accomplishment" - Braves Farm Director Kurt Kemp
    • "If I would have been traded, it would have been fine, but I want to stay with the Braves. I'm glad they didn't want to trade me. I spoke to some people that told me that was the plan, so it makes me feel good. I'm happy with it being the way it is and staying with the Braves." - Tommy Hanson
