The Phillies have outrighted right-hander J.D. Hammer, the club announced. He had recently been designated for assignment.
Hammer reached the bigs last year but didn’t exactly find success right out of the gates. He did manage a 3.79 ERA in his 19 innings of action, but did so in spite of an ugly 13:12 K/BB ratio.
The 25-year-old Hammer also showed major walk problems during his time at Triple-A last year. But he was lights out before that at the penultimate level of the minors and has a history of gaudy K/BB numbers.
The resemblance to Nuke LaLoosh is astonishing.
This Commerford made me laugh. Nice job.
Comment
Hahaha
Obviously, he wants to announce his presence with authority.
No, he needs to breathe through his eyelids.
And wear a garter.
You win the internet today. Thanks!
You’re welcome.
so the Phillies dropped the hammer… to triple a?
It’s no nail in the coffin by any means. Just needs a re-tool.
Yeah. He is the very definition of a 1-tool player.
Stop………………… hammer time.
There is no way that isn’t his entrance song if he ends up being a closer. I’m rooting for him based on that alone.
He is actually the Iron Pigs’ closer. Wonder if they ever played it, that would be funny.
“What in the name of Ricky Vaugh?”
Mark Grant
With a name like that, he should be a rock star or p**n star. Good name.
Why not all three?

This is a perfect porn star name
He can always fall back on the royalties from the Miami Vice theme song
Hope this doesn’t hurt him.
Nice +1
Don’t forget that song he did with Neal Schon too. He’ll be fine.
The second coming of Vance Worley

Unless released, at AAA…Just not on the 40…
