So Tommy Hanson and ricky romero hmm anyone else think this might be a bad idea for the giants to get injured pitchers

Seriously, there’s no risk to signing both of them…the Giants signed them for pennies and if both pitchers suck, the team can just drop ’em…’low risk – mediocre reward’ kinda thing…Dontrelle Willis never panned out but Ryan Vogelsong did for the Giants…let’s see what happens, I tend to be on your side that it won’t work out but my optimism has something to hope for both Romero and Hanson

I like the moves, give them a shot as long as there are roster spots in the minors (which there are). Both were above average pitchers, both were injured in 2013, both are still in prime years (28 & 30). You can’t really judge them on last year… only one year after they were injured. Yeah they may never recover but if they do, i would gladly take them.
Hansen 4 yrs prior to injury – 45-32 W-L, 3.61 ERA, 158 IP (avg), 148 K (avg)

Why? Even for Triple A depth. The last time Tommy Hanson was effective was three years ago.
Why not attempt to trade for Dillon Gee, or bring up a Kyle Crick?
Chad N
Why not? There is absolutely no risk and this by no means effects either of your options.
Pei Kang
true, this doesn’t affect my other options. I guess as long as they don’t call up Hanson, it’s okay.
Paul Michaels
Cause Crick isn’t MLB ready and trading for Gee wouldn’t really help things.
James Burns
Crick still needs to work on his BB average. He was giving up at least 5 walks a game last year I believe. That wouldn’t bode well in the majors. As soon as he gets his command under control then he will be in the majors. I want to see it but I also don’t want to see him come up too soon and get rocked.
Pei Kang
Agreed Crick needs experience, but you know, if you bring up guys like Hanson and Romero….even in a pinch, yeesh.
