Wanna bring in a winner, then Buy Buy BUY… The Reds are still within striking distance of the Cardinals who seem to have the Miter’s touch turning anything and everyone they get to gold (see Carlos Beltran’s return to form).. The Reds need a bit more of the same so this reporter says ‘BUY’. Stock Market could be getting a flux of stars this June especially if teams continue to fail ala the Phillidelphia Phillies (who appear to be sellers)..
Hamels is 4-1 with a 2.45 ERA in his 6 starts for the Phillies this year.
Word hit the streets today that the Phils could be looking to shop Cole Hamels and Shane Victorino who are set to hit the open market after the 2012 season. The Phillies are currently dead last in their division and continuing to struggle without the bats of Chase Utley and Ryan Howard in their lineup. I wouldn’t mind seeing the Reds make a trade for Cole Hamels.. He could be the piece that gives the Reds that 1-2 punch they need during a playoff push.. Hamels is 4-1 with a 2.45 ERA and has gotten consistently better with age. Not sure who the Reds would have to give up but I think Hamels would make a fine addition to this 2012 Cincinnati Reds Team.
