Cole Hamels (SP), Phi - Injury
February 02, 2005

News: Philadelphia pitching prospect Cole Hamels broke his left hand in what the Phillies described as an "altercation" in Florida last weekend. He could be sidelined for three months.

View: Philadelphia area hand specialist Dr. Randall Culp will insert a pin into the fifth metacarpal—the long bone in the palm of the hand that leads to the pinkie finger—of his throwing hand. The pin will be removed about three weeks later, and six weeks later, Hamels will be able to start light throwing.

Details of the "altercation" have not been released as it is still being investigated by Clearwater police.

Hamels was the Phillies' top prospect prior to the 2004 season. That was prior to a bout with bicep tendintis, which limited him to four starts at high Class A Clearwater, where he went 1-0, 1.13 with 24 K in 16 IP. He was going to be invited to MLB spring training and make the jump to Double-A.

Hamels was still listed as the No. 3 Phillie prospect by Baseball America, and remained one of the top LHP and in the top 25 prospects in all of baseball. Now, he will miss a significant portion of a season for the second straight year. Age (21) is still on his side.

I wonder if I should point the owner in my league who has him to this post. He'll read it and panic, I'm sure.....

Damn.

We need more Coel hamels posts.

I haven't figured out which is worse -- a dozen different Cole Hamels threads popping up within a week, or six months of "When is Felix Hernandez getting called up?" threads?

Well I was seriously thinking about posting a throw up titled post in the lounge. I am sick of the guy already and he doesnt pitch until tomorrow.

Also, I in no way condone picking him up unless you injury prone or a novice and hurting.

I guess a young gun is always exciting though, no matter where he is?
[11] by standuptriple on 05/11/2006 05:35 amreply
Yeah, I hope he gets blown up...for the simple fact that I won't have to sift through 20+ threads between Friday night and his next start.

Agreed, but only if Dunn hits three homers off of him.

I think it's about time we change the name of this site. Cole Hamels Information Central has a nice ring to it. Or maybe Overhyped Rookie Pitching Information Central

And yes, I recognize my perpetuation of this.

Yea this may be old but it is true now he is on his way to the majors starting today against the reds. He is going to be outstanding on the mound. He was unhittable batters said in the past. His stats for the minors ore outstanding. He is going to pitch very well today in Cinncinati

That's like "Snakes on a Plane" is going to be a good movie.

I forgot... Cole Hamels is the second coming of Walter Johnson...

Here we go again!

NEW YORK (AP) -- Rookie pitcher Cole Hamels of the Philadelphia Phillies experienced soreness in the back of his left shoulder while throwing in the outfield Tuesday and was scratched from his scheduled start Wednesday night against the New York Mets.

Hamels will return to Philadelphia on Wednesday for an evaluation. To replace him, the Phillies will start Jon Lieber against the Mets on Wednesday, with Brett Myers going Thursday afternoon.

Hamels has started two games for the Phillies since being called up from Triple-A on May 12. He has no decisions and a 3.18 ERA.

Is it too late to get Bedard back?
[19] by howard johnson on 05/24/2006 07:53 amreply
He's on the DL now. Look, I already have enough injured players. I know I used my #4 priority on him, but I can't afford this nonsense. I'm cutting him for Armas. There, I said it.
[20] by dpaullin on 05/24/2006 12:23 pmreply
Hamels is on the DL, though...

[21] by Whistler on 05/24/2006 12:27 pmreply
this was the knock on him... theres a reason he has less than 200 IPs as a pro.
[22] by guru4u on 05/24/2006 10:46 pmreply
I'm trying really hard to not break my arm patting myself on the back here guys......

Seriously though, this is a shame. Hamels is an amazing talent. He just seems too much like the second coming of Mark Prior - a talented kid that can't stay healthy.

Gee you sound really genuinely saddened. You basically predicted that the sun would rise this morning.

Did I sense a hint of sarcasm there sir?

Listen, I'm not happy he's on the DL. I kept offering up my opinion on Hamels and his injury past, only to get either shot down or ignored by most people on this board. You were one of the few Hessshaun that didn't get caught up in all the hype. Those that did are now paying for it.

It is what it is.

Yes it was sarcasm. We were the one percent that tried to sway the easily persuaded away.
