hot news/cold day: hamels signs!

Breaking news: Cole Hamels has signed a three-year contract worth $20.5 million with the Phillies. The contract buys out the first three years of arbitration for the 25-year-old, who was the MVP of the NLCS and World Series. Good stuff! Ruben Amaro, Jr. is getting things done with the arbitration-eligible guys. Wish Ryan Howard were next up but he's looking for pie-in-the-sky money. So who will it be?
