Hamels has best spring outing

Phillies starter Cole Hamels pitched 6 2/3 strong innings as the Phillies beat the Minnesota Twins 10-2 on Sunday. Hamels allowed two runs on a pair of solo homers by Luis Castillo and Rondell White. Hamels gave up five hits, struck out six and had no walks in his best outing of the spring. He has a history of health issues, but he showed last year just how dominant he can be. There is considerable risk spending the premium it takes to get him, but he certainly has the potential to make it a risk worth taking -- especially for the contending Phillies.
