Hamels Calls Contract a "Low Blow"

Found March 03, 2008 on All Things Philly Sports: Yardbarker Blogger Network
P1.hamels
Stop me if you've heard this one before. A player on the Phillies, coming off a solid season, has his contract renewed for way below what he believes he deserves, and he's upset by it. Sounds like Ryan Howard's situation. It's also the situation Cole Hamels has found himself in. The Phillies renewed Hamels' contract, paying him $500,000 for this season, and Hamels calls the move a "low blow".
