Cole Hamels (1 Viewer)

Alright, I'm in first place in one league....and Hamels was released about 2 weeks ago. Today I read that he may return next week, so I took a flier on him (really more of a block on someone else getting him).

Problem is, I have to drop someone in order to keep him. I have until Sunday to decide.....does anyone here think Hamels will contribute his last three possible starts? Or should I just hold and release him Sunday night so no one else can get him until the last week of the season?

hell yes take a flier on him.

Who do you have to drop?

not sounding so good for Hamels... but who knows? there's gotta be someone you can drop that you wouldn't use in the 3 weeks anyway.. just in case.

link?Last I read was:

News: Phillies ace Cole Hamels felt fine after a bullpen session Wednesday and hopes to start Tuesday at St. Louis. The All-Star lefty has been out since Aug. 22 with an elbow strain.

fwiw, it's a 10 team cbs sportsline league, so obviously very shallow. My drop would be either JD Drew, John Maine....or one of my stud relievers (Putz, Saito, Valverde), as I have an insurmountable lead in saves. I can possibly gain 2-3 points in wins (or lose 1)....and gain 1 point in K's (or lose one).

Looks like they are aiming to throw him on Tues...

Note that he's on a pitch count.

Praying he doesn't leave with discomfort in the 3rd inning.

Just dropped Valverde to make room for Cole

I was stuck between a Hamels double-start or a Felix one-start in my final week. The pitch-count thing made it easy, given that Hamels doesn't have much of a chance to get a QS.
