Quick Hits: Hamels, Buchholz, Red Sox, Nationals

Earlier tonight, the Nationals' Bryce Harper became the first teenager to steal home since Ed Kirkpatrick did it for the Angels in 1964.  Meanwhile, tonight's injury sustained by Jayson Werth could shift the youngster over to right field for the time being.  Here are some links on this Sunday night..

• Jon Heyman of CBSSports.com (via Twitter) believes that Cole Hamels can approach C.C. Sabathia's record $161MM deal if he reaches free agency.  The Phillies haven't made much progress with Hamels on a new deal lately.
• If the Red Sox decide to send Clay Buchholz to the minors, the pitcher will first have to clear optional waivers, writes Alex Speier of WEEI.com.  It's unlikely that Buchholz would be claimed, however, as optional waivers are revocable.
• The Nationals worked out pitcher David Ramos, the younger brother of catcher Wilson Ramos, earlier today, according to Mark Zuckerman of CSNwashington.com (via Twitter).  Wilson caught for his brother as he threw 89-91 mph and GM Mike Rizzo was in attendance, tweets Dan Kolko of MASNsports.com.
