This is just freaking great:
How old is this guy anyway? A broken rib on a swing. Maybe he should talk to Sammy Sosa about how to break bones during daily activities.
The article goes on to say that a trade for another veteran starter could be one of the options the Braves explore. It is now even more urgent that Kyle Davies get it together. I would also consider putting Oscar Villarreal back in a starting role, he was excellent last year.
Update [2007-3-8 13:37:23 by gondeee]:
We get an update from DOB at the AJC that it is not a cracked rib but a strained oblique muscle.
"I've heard anything from four weeks to six to eight weeks," Hampton said. "I think I pulled it pretty bad."
Hampton estimated once his side heals he would need a month to get back in pitching form, having missed the rest of spring training. So that would keep him out of action until at least mid-May.

Ugh..this is not what anyone needed thats for sure....Rain Delay - March 8, 2007
veteran starters
I wasn't comfortable with him anyway. Let him work it out in AAA. What a huge waste Hampton has been.Do we have any money to be pursuing starting pitching?
Harrison or Villareal?

Cormier.
No need to rush Harrison or gamble on Lerew when you have a guy like Cormier ready to go. We can make due with him at the back end of the rotation for a couple of months. Honestly, I'd like to see Villareal take that spot, but my guess is Cormier gets the nod.ejruiz - March 8, 2007
Damn
I was hoping he would have a good enough start to trade him and his bloated salary to a really stupid rich team.mhsiegel14 - March 8, 2007
Does anyone know
Can we put him on the DL and collect the insurance money?TradeAndruw - March 8, 2007
There goes Gonzo
I think I was the only person pulling for the LaRoche Gonzo trade. Now unfortunately I think we will send him to Boston for some starting pitching. Probably get Lester out of them for him, another unproven Kyle Davies. :-(surge - March 9, 2007
