Taxes.2@JonHeyman Death. Taxes.Fans had a hard time believing that he looked good sitting in the low 90s. He'd be one of the slowest pitchers in the league if he were to sign with someone. But Johnny Cueto saw good success last season while averaging a 91 MPH fastball.It's going to be tough for Cole Hamels to make a comebackAtlanta Braves Summer WorkoutsCole Hamels had a great career with the Philadelphia Phillies. In 10 seasons in Philadelphia, he compiled a 114-90 record with a 3.30 ERA. Hamels made three All-Star game appearances during that time as well. He helped the Phillies win the World Series in 2008 and was named World Series MVP.He kept up that success when he was traded to the Texas Rangers. In four seasons in Texas, he had a 38-21 record with a 3.90 ERA. He spent two seasons with the Chicago Cubs in 2018 and 2019, seeing similar success.Things took a turn when the Atlanta Braves signed him in 2020. He appeared in one game before injuring his shoulder.The shoulder can be tricky to recover fully. Given his age, and not having pitched for two seasons, all odds are against him. It will be interesting to see if any team takes a gamble on Cole Hamels this upcoming season.
