Over/Under- Bullpen

Phillies Opinion: Looking at Three Lefties Hamels, Bastardo, Willis

Philadelphia Phillies left hander Cole Hamels just finished his second Spring Training appearance of 2012 throwing 2 2/3 innings of shutout ball giving up 4 hits.

Antonio Bastardo: What Can the Philadelphia Phillies Expect From Him in 2012?
