Hamels leaves camp to have elbow examined

Cole Hamels has left Phillies camp and is flying to Philadelphia to have his sore elbow examined Tuesday by team doctors.

The Phillies were already taking things slow with Hamels this spring because he threw a career-high 227 1/3 innings last season before tossing another 35 frames in the playoffs. "We do not think it is serious, at least at this time," general manager Ruben Amaro Jr. said. "We did do a physical on him before we ended up finalizing the multiyear deal with him and felt comfortable with the diagnostics and such. But he's had a little persistent soreness and we want to be cautious about it and have him checked out." Hamels has a history of elbow problems, which makes this news especially concerning for the 25-year-old ace. Mar. 16 - 9:10 am et

This is not good news

My keepers are due this Wednesday, and Coles was at the top of the list

Worse news for an owner in my league. Our keepers were due March 7 and Hamels was given a 3-year contract at $29 per year in a salary cap league (cap is $335). We also surrender the draft pick where the player was taken the year before, which means a 4th rounder for Cole. Yikes.
 
I make it a habit to avoid starting pitchers from teams that played in the World Series the year before. It's not fool proof, but I just like to avoid arms with the extra work load.

 
Hamels addressed the media a little while ago

Update (11 a.m.): Hamels just met with reporters. Here is some of what he had to say:"I was able to throw yesterday. It's just been kind of that mild discomfort that I don't want to deal with during the season. So if he can lessen the inflammation and the discomfort, I'll be able to throw and be productive.""When I'm in games I feel fine. It's coming out of the games, having it stiffen up. Normally, when I'm done I'm able to do stuff. It was still kind of lingering. Maybe it will kind of go away over time. It never got worse, but it never completely went away."Hamels said he has this tightness every spring, and for that reason he is no worried. He also said he is not worried becuase he feels absolutely no pain while he pitches or at any other time for that matter. The elbow just tightens up on him.Hamels said he think he will be able to start Opening Day, but he won't push it, either."Twenty days until Opening Day," Hamels said. "My body and shoulder is pretty much ready. It's just trying to get that mild discomfort out."

I'm not going to say that Hamels is soft..(after all the guy was great in the postseason)... but he does have a very sensitive viewpoint when it comes to the health of his body. Before last year, meatheads on WIP would gripe about his health outlook.

Probably trust their own doctors more than the Florida alternatives.
 
Apparently Prince Fielder just tried to eat Hamels... or something like that:

"Philadelphia Phillies starter Cole Hamels has left the game in the top of the 4th inning after being hit in the left shoulder by a line drive off the bat of Prince Fielder."
