Hampton to go on DL with pectoral strain



The Braves will place Mike Hampton on the 15-day disabled list with a strained pectoral and recall Jo-Jo Reyes prior to Friday's game.
Reyes' promotion should be short-lived, as the Braves are expected to activate Chuck James to start in Hampton's place next week. Jeff Bennett will return to the bullpen.

Re: Hampton to go on DL with pectoral strain

He is the ultimate thief, this fellow Hampton, who parlayed one decent season into millions for the rest of his life. Nobody could be this unlucky, so I have to assume that he is from the same mold as Carl Pavano, who is in his class as a stealer of money but not quite as good as it- yet.

You didn't see this coming Vince? He hasn't started in over 31 months, why would start now?

Re: Hampton to go on DL with pectoral strain

We should name the all-Fine China rotation. Pitchers who are the most fragile. This guy would definitely be one of the five, no doubt.

Him and Mark Prior would be the aces

You have to put Kerry Wood on that list as well.

Re: Hampton to go on DL with pectoral strain

And of course the aforementioned Carl Pavano is five.

Honorable mention to Kevin Brown, but I think he's out of the league, right? Maybe he can be pitching coach.

Yeah... maybe we'll use him and bump Park back to the bullpen, eh?
