Cole Hamels: A Cub

[Yeti]

What thread is this?

What thread is this?

The thread where we get Cole Hamels some better run support by getting rid of Addison Russell.

[Saul Goodman]

So far I am not unimpressed.

So far I am not unimpressed.

Six innings and less than 100 pitches? What is this sorcery?

[Saul Goodman]

Cole Hamels is, in fact, good.

[Saul Goodman]

Cole Fucking Hamels.

Considering Darvish shut down after an inning in South Bend yesterday, this deal is even larger now. Especially if Yu has the Tommy John Disease, this makes Hamels' option a no-brainer.

I'm shocked - SHOCKED, I tell ya - to hear that Johnny Samplesize is FORKGM's new favourite player.  I don't wish to piss on your bonfire, old fruit, but Hamels has been not good for a couple of years now, and three or four decent starts against lineups that haven't seen him since half way through 2015 don't mean much.  I hope he continues to pitch like this right through to the beginning of November and that the Cubs have no choice but to sign him up next year for more of the same, but I ain't getting my hopes up.

It takes a pretty damn specific criteria, listed above to get excited about the picking up of said option. Shit, for all we know, Hamels only agreed to the trade if the Cubs agreed to not pick him up, and now he's just in a salary drive.

But if he keeps pitching like this (especially beyond Game 162), and likes being a Cub, who says no? I mean, in a perfect world, this time next year we're raising a glass to Hamels and enjoying a healthy Darvish and fixed Chatwood. And that twenty mildo that would have been Hamels being most of Machado's annual compensation for plying his trade between Kris Bryant and Javy Baez.

Cole "Completely Fixed Now and Everything is Fine" Hamels will drink the blood of the nonbelievers.
