Here comes Phillies to the rescue, For a PRICE !

Aaron Harang would cost 2 B level prospects. Cole Hamels would be an overreaction.
Anthony Rainier
I wouldn’t be opposed to Hamels considering Houston appears to have completely soured on Appel by passing him over twice now for two younger pitchers. I think Philly would be ecstatic to get Appel, bring back Singleton and Santana from the Pence trade, as well as another higher A level prospect. Hamels will cost prospects, but his salary is actually quite a decent value in this market of pitching.
Chris Koch
So you think 24mil/season is cheap value on an aging Hamels? Then want 4-A level prospects in return?. Phillies must be sending 20mil/yr to remotely come close to that for a return
Anthony Rainier
Yes. Because I don’t believe in those prospects. But I believe Philly does. Plus. Look at the last 3 years of Scherzers contract, 35 million each year. So yeah, 23.5 million sounds like a steal for Hamels at 32-34 years old with a 20 million dollar option if he performs well. We build up the farm system to supply talent two ways, developing players for our team and developing them for trade bait. Think about why Singleton, Santana and Appel haven’t been called up. Because doing so could diminish their trade value if they don’t do well.
Chris Koch
There is such a thing as team control and Super 2. Appel&Santana would certainly qualify for Super 2 if they’re called up now. Singleton was given a contract at basically the numbers he’s produced at AAA for thus far. I think Houston is looking to dump Chris Carter on someone and are just playing him to accomplish that.
There is no concern about their trade value being diminished at all. If any teams are asking for them now, the smallest of less than 2months sample isn’t going to dictate prospects being valued less. Singleton is blocked by Carter/Gattis.
I just see Carter being traded off to a power starved team to make room for Singleton, before being relegated to bench for Singleton and creating a true less value for trade.
Brixton G.
they wouldnt get singleto ,appel, and santana
pete peterson
Considering Appel’s underwhelming performance history in the minors, I doubt that he has sterling trade value.

cole hamels name has surfaced every time there is an injury or pitching upgrade. it gets sicks of hearing hamels name floated around every day so if the phillies were to trade him by now they probably already would have.

Kazmir and Cueto recently had MRI’s done so I would think twice before renting them.

The 32-year-old injured his knee while fielding a grounder in his most recent start.
Oh come on Feldman pitched last against the Orioles.
However, he did a good job. =P
BarrelMan
Kyle Lohse would be a great fit.

No, he is so weak. somebody finally broke the mirrors in his smoke n mirrors aresenal.

Let’s just not overpay for a 2015 rental, especially when a strong playoff run is highly unlikely. Throwing out 6-7 sub.250 hitters is not gonna cut it in the playoffs. At least Hamels is controllable for a few years if the prospect price isn’t too steep.
