Tommy Hanson has adjusted his pitching motion in hopes of reducing the stress on his body and avoiding injury. "It's not drastic, but it's definitely different," Hanson said. Hanson has simply focused on removing the momentary pause that had previously created a snapping-like motion in his delivery. The adjustment should lessen the stress placed on his right shoulder. "I'm really just cutting out that pause," Hanson said. "I felt like I was throwing with all arm. Also, by changing, I could kill two birds with one stone as far as cutting down the running game. Somebody gets on and they have just run all day. I think it's going to help both." Hanson entered this offseason with some uncertainty surrounding his right shoulder. He had battled discomfort dating back to the 2010 season and missed the final two months of the 2011 season.
