Atlanta Braves pitcher Tommy Hanson missed Monday's workout, and was being evaluated for a possible concussion, after being injured in a one-car accident on the way to the ballpark.

Manager Fredi Gonzalez said Hanson's car blew a tire while he was going around a corner on a street near Champions Stadium at Disney's Wide World of Sports complex in Florida.

"He bumped his head, on the windshield or the steering wheel. (We're) not sure which," Gonzalez said. "So with all the concussion (issues) now, we've got to make sure he's fine."

Gonzalez said it's possible Hanson could be out for a day or two, depending on what the concussion testing reveals.




Hanson, you wearing your seat belt?

 

The hitting is taking a spring break and had better not be that way this season.

 

1-7 so far this spring. Lets hope it doesn`t carry over to the real baseball.

 

the Bravos managed a second spring win yesterday. I think they are 2-11 so far.

 

Maybe, just maybe some things are coming together for the Bravos. 5-11 now.

 

DUNEDIN, Fla. -- Atlanta Braves third baseman Chipper Jones will have arthroscopic surgery Monday to repair a torn meniscus in his left knee.

Jones injured the knee Thursday when he slipped while stretching before batting practice. It also was just before his scheduled news conference, where he announced he was planning to retire after this season.

"We were talking on the field to get ready to go up for the news conference, he called (manager) Fredi (Gonzalez) in off the field to let him know he thought he had just injured his knee and it didn't feel right," Braves general manager Frank Wren said Saturday. "Just a strange coincidence."

Jones, who turns 40 next month, suffered a similar injury last summer, when he had surgery to repair a torn meniscus in his right knee.

 

Livan Hernandez? what Fernando Valenzuela wasn't available? I thought you guys had a glut of good young pitching?

 

I think they hate him so bad that they hired him just so they could drop his old tired ass in the dirt.
