If Hanley’s performance doesn’t turn around bigtime, look for the Feesh to try to move him this offseason. If they see a crack just wide enough to stuff John Buck through, look for them to jump at the chance, too. And don’t be surprised if they’re willing to listen to offers for Ricky Nolasco and/or Chris Volstad (the latter especially). I’d be surprised if these two weren’t on waivers already.
