Mike Hampton Injured Again
Posted by: Barrett Sallee in Atlanta Braves, tags: Mike Hampton
Do not adjust your monitors, this is not a re-post, Mike Hampton is injured
again. Let me give you a second to recover from the shock…
…okay, now on to the story. Mike Hampton left his rehab start in AA
Mississippi Wednesday night in the second inning with a strained groin.
Hampton initially injured himself in the first inning, but tried to “tough
it out” to make it through the second. Let’s give him credit, at least he
made it through warm ups. Hamptons final line…2IP, 1ER, 1BB and 2K.
This is when we, as baseball fans, wish the NFL Players Association was
running the union. Oh how we all yearn for un-guaranteed contracts, for we
would never be dealing with Mike Hampton anymore. As it is, we are stuck
with him. But, he needs to be cut. It’s apparent that he isn’t going to
pitch for the Braves ever again. As it is now, he’s impeding the
development of a AA pitcher. We are going to have to pay him anyways. Let
him go, write the check and close this miserable chapter in Atlanta Braves
history.
