Just watched Cole Hamels play catch with Jamie Moyer. A few minutes after that, the Phils' lefty performed some fielding drills on the side field behind the main ballpark. Just your normal spring training day for Hamels.
The difference, of course, is that the lefty will be heading to the airport this afternoon to catch a flight back to Philadelphia. Once there, Hamels will pay a visit to Dr. Michael Ciccotti about the elbow "soreness" he's felt during camp.
Make that, "persistent soreness."
"We don't feel that it's serious, but again, I don't have a crystal ball," general manager Ruben Amaro Jr. said. "I can't look inside his elbow. We just want to be cautious, and we thought it was important that he sees our doctor in Philly."
Nope, it doesn't sound good.
