Phillies sometime starting pitcher/dreamboat Cole Hamels isn't happy with the $500,000.00 he's making this year. Hamels, although a promising talent, has yet to pitch a full season as a member of the Phillies organization. He's been plagued by back, hand, and elbow issues throughout his carerr. Inflammation in the left elbow caused him to miss valuable starts during the Phils' stretch run last year in August and September, forcing them to fill in with the likes of J.D. Durbin.
Since Hamels has yet to acrue 3 years of MLB service time, the Phillies were free to renew his contract at any figure above the MLB minimum, which is $390,000.00. Hamels is rumored to have been looking for a figure closer to 750k.
