I don't write about minor leaguers much, but one of my commentors is very excited about Cole Hamels of the Philadelphia Phillies. This article gives you the reason why.

Hamels, a 22-year-old lefthander, yesterday dominated the opponent for the second straight time for Triple A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. In Richmond, Hamels threw his first complete game, a two-hit shutout in which he walked one and had 12 strikeouts against the Braves' best minor leaguers in a 5-0 win. He shut out Norfolk with 14 strikeouts, five hits and no walks in seven innings in his Triple A debut Thursday.

He's dominated the minors so far, although his walks rates are somewhat high. He's also been limited in playing time by SportsCenter's favorite injury, the bulging disc. So I understand Gillick's reluctance to promote the youngster to the majors. But the opposition is hitting .317 vs. the Phillies starters this year. If that keeps up, Gillick may not have a choice.
