Mike Hampton will have tendon repair surgery tomorrow and will be held out of pitching activities for at least six months. This will leave the Atlanta Braves without a starting pitcher for an extended time for the second straight season. The thing that blows my mind the most is Hampton signed a $121 million dollar contract in 2001 with the Colorado Rockies and is still due $14.5 million this year from them and $15 million next year. I know he might like the sport, but now after his second big injury and a fading career I will call it quits and count my benjamins.
