Through eight games at Triple-A Gwinnett, Kris Medlen was 5-0, sported a humble 1.19 ERA and earned a start with the big boys in Atlanta.

Three innings, five runs, 2 wild pitches, a hit batter, a balk and 5 walks later, Kris Medlen’s major league debut came to an abrupt end.

Those in Yahoo! leagues are probably thankful Medlen wasn't added to the player pool in time for his start tonight. He could have single-handedly destroyed your week. 

Recommendation: Medlen still deserves a look in 14 team and NL-Only leagues. However, since Kris is due to start his second game in San Francisco against Tim Lincecum on 5/26, you may want to let him ride the pine.

Tommy Hanson Update: The 2008 Arizona Fall League's MVP is waiting for his call. Some call Tommy the 2nd best pitching prospect in the minors behind Tampa Bay's David Price. Hanson is currently 3-3 with a 1.51 ERA, 73 K's and only 15 walks in 52 2/3 innings. Hanson's call could hinge on Tom Glavine's progress and success in his return to the Braves.
