The Case for Cole Hamels

[Adrian]

Probably why the D'Backs are interested, to raise the price.

Nice strategic move by them, then.

TEX gives up according to MLB.com rankings, their #4, #5, #6 & #29 ranked prospects in addition to Matthew Harrison. TEX gave up 3 Top 100 prospects in the deal but got to keep their Top 3 prospects (Gallo, Mazara & Tate).

I can only imagine PHI would have asked for 2 of our Big 3 SP's (Bradley, Blair, Shipley), Drury & a big league SP. Stewart mentioned PHI's asking price was steep so maybe they wanted more? Who knows.
