HAMELS UPDATE

MIAMI -- It was posted earlier on www.delawareonline.com, but if you missed it ...

In his second start for Class AAA Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, Cole Hamels threw a complete-game, two-hit shutout and struck out 12 today in a 5-0 win over the Richmond Braves.

And so, in two Class AAA starts, he has throws 16 scoreless innings and struck out 26 batters.

Naturally, that begs the question, when will Hamels get called up to Philadelphia?

"Of course, if he can help us, I want him," manager Charlie Manuel said. "If our people think this kid could definitely help us, he'll be here."

FYI: Hamels' next start is scheduled for Sunday. It'll be his first start at Lackawanna County Stadium in Scranton.
