Originally posted by SamtheBravesFan View PostIt's a bit of a salary dump. Hanson's shoulder injuries have derailed his career a slight bit, and Walden is a cheap, high-strikeout reliever and Wren likes those guys very much.
I think Walden completes our bullpen and makes us the best bullpen in the major leagues. Think about it: Kimbrel, EOF, Venters, Moylan,Rest in Peace Jose Fernandez (1992-2016)

I think Walden fits a role on the team better than Hanson would. After the Jurrjens situation, the Braves didn't want to make the same mistake twice. Hanson seems to be in serious trouble and while Walden had some injuries his future is much brighter.
Also, about 4 million in salary was shedded and it appears the Braves want to go after a premier left fielder.Chop! Chop! Chop!

Potential win/win situation. The Braves have the depth to deal Hanson and add another power arm for the pen, while the Angels get a potentially very good number 3, although I don't think much of their bullpen right now.San Francisco Giants, World Series Champions in 2010, 2012, and 2014!!!
