or would this be dumpster diving? The Phils need a lefty starter. 34-year old former Phil Hamels might fit in. He's only 4-7, 4.05 but could sue for run support. He got blown out in he last two starts but overall his stats are not too shabby. 104K/37BB. No idea about his velocity. Making $20 million.

2018
April 1-3, 3.97
May 2-1, 3.20
June 1-1, 3.34

No need for Hamels at 20 million. We are deep in pitching with our prospects in the minors. Plus there are cheaper options.

Hell no. Not as a player. Hire Hamels to be a pitching coach and that would be a better use of the money he is going to want!

Holy Cow!! When was the last time we won six-in-a-row?!

That would be April, just last year - right before the Phildoes went on a real tear and proceeded to win 6 of their next 32 games. :eek:

But they bravely came back - then managed to win one game in their next 14. Geez, who the hell was managing?:pound:

Hamels price tag got a little lower this afternoon.


Blown up by a AAA team.

Sounds like he's gonna fester the rest of the season. Actually, he had gone at least five innings in each of his first 17 starts this year.
Only had a handful of bad starts. But three in a row.


He's been great on the road this season. Minus the first inning today.

I think the dude is done and needs to consider a pitching coach position if he is going to hang around baseball any longer.

He’s still healthy though. Can’t believe he’s done just because his fastball comes in at 63 mph.

Well, jvett. Like most professional sports players they can't admit that reality is telling them their playing days are done. Hamel is the next one. He seriously should consider being a pitching coach.

Much truth in that but Hamels will keep going for some time.

My “ Cy” remark was intended for the Pirates game, after Anderson threw a perfect first. :suds:
