Mike Hampton back on the DL

The Braves signed Mike Hampton several years ago. He came in with a huge contract, something like $120 million for eight years. He has not started a game for the Braves in three years. He's been on the DL for two years, and was going to start this past Thursday's game against the Pirates. He strained or pulled a pec right before the game though, and now he's back on the DL.

Three years, no starts. It's something out of a ballplayer's nightmare. $120 million is a lot of money too. I feel like I'm back in Boston.... I have been waiting a long time to see him start a game at Turner field. I was hoping to see it this week, but I'll keep waiting I guess.

Hope he feels better soon, because we could use his arm very very soon.
