Tommy Hanson says his right shoulder is feeling good and he expects to be on a regular routine for the start of spring training. Hanson enjoyed a strong first half of the 2011 season, posting a 10-4 record and 2.44 ERA, but he made only five starts after the All-Star break because of persistent pain in the shoulder. A small tear was found in his right rotator cuff that did not require surgery. "I definitely feel a lot more optimistic now than a couple months ago or even last month," he said. Hanson said he is throwing on his normal offseason schedule and expects that to continue when Braves pitchers and catchers report to spring training Feb. 19. "I'm on a normal schedule right now and I feel good, so I don't think that will change," he said. "I'll be on a normal schedule. "My shoulder feels really good. I've been off the mound a couple times and it feels really good."
