Hamels Throws 48 Pitches; April 10 Target Seems Probable
Posted by Tim Malcolm, Tue, March 24, 2009 05:14 PM
Cole Hamels threw in a minor-league game today in Clearwater. The result: Good, but a work in progress.
The ace threw 48 pitches, 35 for strikes. The final tally: 3.2 innings, 1 H, 1 BB, 5 K. Good line, but 48 pitches is nowhere near game-ready. Hamels will get two more outings before the season begins; David Murphy reports he’ll probably throw 70 pitches in his next start (Suinday), then 90 against the Rays during the on-deck series.
Hamels said the soreness isn’t there anymore, and the velocity (not known yet) will increase as he throws more:
“Truly, I was trying to let the ball go,. But my velocity I think in spring training is always, every start, it will go tick, tick, tick (upwards).”
The April 10 target date for regular season pitching reported yesterday remains intact.

Jeff Baker of the Rockies is out of options and , according to Ken Rosenthal and as reported on MLB.COM, the Rockies may be interested in Kyle Kendrick, THe Phils most likely want to move Geoff Jenkins contact, or Matt Stairs’. Baker, a 28-year-old right handed hitter, can play a number of positions and is accustomed to utility play. Something to think about.
March 24th, 2009 at 5:55 pm
Jeff Baker is a righty that can hit lefties. Not a bad pinch-hitting option off the bench.
March 24th, 2009 at 6:05 pm
Jeff Baker hits .294/.349/.547 at Coors Field.
Jeff Baker hits .216/.278/.356 everywhere else.

So, if Hamels tosses a similar gem on Sunday – what do you do?
You want to tell him “we need you more in the second half”? Is it not that big of a deall that he wants to start right away? Or he misses a start or 2?
If he does not start the season, will 20 games still be in his target? (I dont know if he would miss any starts, really) – if he does not reach 20 wins (and someone else does) – does the venerated CY award elude his reach? That award is an automatic raise (I dont know if there are award clauses in his contract, usually the case) and at such a young age!
March 25th, 2009 at 9:20 am
I was going to say with that game at Coor’s… and the weird things it does to breaking balls, etc… wouldn’t it be better to have Hamels make that next start, which would be in Washington?
March 25th, 2009 at 10:41 am
Yea, make him start in DC the 13th! I’ll be there! Believe it or not, it is still possible to buy single game tickets to the Nats home opener…
I recall Cole’s last game vs the Nats in Washington… he completely dominated them.
