i don't see how anyone can justify paying a guy who plays every 5th day that amount of money

I wanted to resign him but this is another monster contract. After getting out pitched by the Giants on '10 Amaro panicked and over-stockpiled arms. All the money on this team is locked up into arms and Howard's massive contract.

Second richest contract for a pitcher ever. I love seeing Cole pitch but really now?

Also, when is Verlander due for a new contract? He is going to be pushing $160 million or much more I'd imagine.

I'm surprised that people are surprised. If any pitcher deserves to be paid like this, Hamels is certainly one.

Look at how much money the Phils have tied up with stupid contracts like this. Actually come to think of it, we shouldn't be surprised they did another stupid contract

So because they overpaid for Cliff Lee and Howard they should let Hamels walk? I wouldn't call this contract stupid, it's market value. If I'm a Phillies fan I'd rather have Hamels at this contract than draft picks for letting him go.

Thank you. I swear that most of these dumb fricks do not really understand the price of the market.
