3 years agoFree-agent starting pitcher Cole Hamels plans to continue playing in 2022, but a target date is uncertain. Hamels had left shoulder surgery in November of last year and probably wouldn't be ready until around midseason if a team takes a chance on him. The 38-year-hasn't pitched in a major league game since he made one start for the Atlanta Braves in 2020. In 27 starts (141 2/3 innings) for the Chicago Cubs in 2019, Hamels had a 3.81 ERA, 1.39 WHIP, 143 strikeouts and 56 walks. The four-time All-Star is nearing the end of his career and probably won't be worth much of a look in fantasy if he eventually signs with a team and returns later this year.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
