Cole Hamels: 9 IP, 5 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 2 BB, 15 K (Win)
The Phils’ Cole Hamels is said to be rather flaky (he broke his pitching hand in a bar fight in 2005) but maybe that’s what fuels outings like these. I went in to my APBA rookie draft planning to draft him with my first pick. I chickened out and ended up taking Nick Markakis instead.
Maybe Hamels would have been a better choice.
By the way, the Phillies dropped Jimmy Rollins to the third spot for this game, the first time he’s hit there since August of last year. Fantasy owners take note.
