He's incredibly talented... not on the level of Felix Hernandez, but he could certainly be a perennial all-star if he stays healthy. I'm not sure even Charlie Manuel can screw this kid up.

[Drew Doughty]

so uh...how long until he's the second set up man behind brett myers?

[Mephistopheles]

hes every bit as talented as felix hernandez.

Hamels would make a great lefty compliment to Myers.

Assessment on Cole Hamels?

[CubColtPacer]

Let's just say I'm very happy that my fantasy rotation has Hamels, Rich Hill, Daisuke, and Roy Halladay in it, along with trying to pick up Ben Sheets off the waiver wire. I'm more than half a run ahead in ERA so far over any other team :D

Is Charlie Manuel in your league? Ben Sheets on the waiver wire?

I couldn't believe it-somebody with a glut of starting pitchers dropped him to pick up a relief pitcher. I don't have a very high waiver claim, but I'm hoping nobody notices he was dropped (which has happened a time or two this year with pretty good players that a terrible team or two dropped), and I can pick him up-that would be quite a 5 starting pitchers considering that most of my top picks were on the offensive side of the ball.

He got me to ground out to second base when my college team played the Phillies A-ball team in Spring Training a few years back. I guess not striking out was an accomplishment.

 

:D

You underestimate Charlie Manuel.

I don't think anybody outside of Santana or Liriano can even think of laying claim to that.

[Mephistopheles]

im pretty sure he can. santana's and hamels are clones of each other.

Just wait until Manuel gets fired and they bring in Dusty. Hamels has already broken his arm once

That would be outstanding. The media in Philadelphia will eat Dusty for breakfest. I can already see Bill Conlin salivating.

No, Hamels is Santana with a huge track record of injury concerns. Health counts, and without Santana's track record of it, he'd rate below King Felix on the pure talent level.
