Anything interesting going on in your teams farm system?

Just figured i would bring this up since I have some news that will help inform us basball wagerers. The Phillies have high hopes for a young stud names Cole Hamels. This guy is a beast form what he has shown this year in AAA ball. He reminds me alot of the recent Zack Duke. In his last 3 starts for the Phillies farm team he has pitched 23 innings giving up 1 run, 10 hits, 1 walk and 36 strikeouts. Needless to say he is the talk of the town right now and if he keeps it up he certainly could help the Phils down the stretch. Whats going on in your neck of the woods?

So remeber this name...Cole Hamels. he should be making his big league appearence by no later than mid June imo.

Also congrats to NL player of the week, Chase Utley.

I am very excited about this and excited to see how he does, he is coming up sooner than expected, there are big hopes for this guy. Hope he fairs better than Gavin Floyd, and I think he will!!
