Hamels injured!!!

figures...i make fun of Fatty McFielder and he hits my Hamels

the name Fatty is already taken by Fatty Jenks. I deemed him that a couple years ago. I also denoted Lincecum, "The Hobbit". I like that much better than Freak.

if we're talking about fatties, i think cc has to factor in somewhere. just sayin.

Baseball has a long list of fatties; there's no way that one player could lay sole claim to the name. Just off of the top of my head....
Cecil Fielder
Bartolo Colon
John Kruk
Kent Hrbek
Babe Ruth

and so on and so on.

And "The Freak" has already been used twice this decade, both for Randy Moss and Jevon Kearse. But I kinda like "The Hobbit."

Is this thread still about Hamels?

Anyone got any more info on Cole?

It seems like a lot of people are trying to buy low on him but many are starting to fear if a long DL stint is on the its way for CH.

from what i heard on the mlb network is he's fine, just a bruise... he'll be ready for his next start ... it was encouraging though, he looked good today, minus the braun bomb...

Friday April 24th.... rotowire.com....

"Hamels, who was hit in the shoulder by a line drive on Thursday, was treated with ice and said he expects to make his next start Tuesday, the Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
Spin: "I'll be fine," Hamels said. "I have a lot of fragile parts, so I'm fortunate it didn't hit me in a danger area. I just have a temporary tattoo of a baseball on the back of my shoulder." On the bright side, Hamels was having his best outing of the season before having to leave the game. His fastball was topping out at 91 mph and five of his first six outs were strikeouts."
