Phillies general manager Pat Gillick watches Cole Hamels pitch and is reminded, he said Wednesday night, of another left-hander: Jimmy Key. Hamels, summoned to the big leagues to make his major league debut for the Phillies on Friday, has Key's composure and his mound demeanor. "But this kid throws harder," said Gillick, who ran the Blue Jays when Key broke in with Toronto.
Hamels forced his way to the big leagues with his extraordinary performance in the minors. Think about this: He had one walk and 36 strikeouts in 23 innings in Triple-A. Gillick says Hamels can pitch forward and backward in baseball parlance -- he can throw off-speed stuff in which hitters expect fastballs, and vice versa, and is not predictable. On the scout's scale of 1 to 8, Gillick rates Hamel's changeup a 7.

The other reason promoting Hamels now makes so much sense is that the ripple greatly strengthens the team's middle relief, with Ryan Madson going back into his old role; this is like the Mets smartly keeping Aaron Heilman in the set-up spot.

This is a dream come true, says Hamels. The Phillies' winning streak ended unceremoniously.

One more year for Flutie?
<May. 9> According to the Providence Journal, Flutie still hasn't decided if he's going to return to the Patriots in 2006 to back up Tom Brady. In fact, the Patriots have not decided if they want Flutie back. The 43-year-old does not have the same elusiveness he did when he was with the Bills and Chargers, and struggled during much of last year's training camp. For his part, Brady is hopeful Flutie will be his understudy for another season.
"I love Doug, and Doug's just an awesome guy, so I would love for him to be here," he said last week. "He adds an awful lot, so I don't know how that's going to work out."

Yeah I get insider for free because of ESPN the mag. Not bad, but Insider is overrated big time, the only thing that I like is reading Buster Olney and Peter Gammons baseball Blogs, those are cool, they have a ton of information you don't read about unless you research like a million newspapers from around the country. The rumor mills aren't that good, but it does get fun around trade deadlines.
