2020 will be Cole Hamels‘ age-36 season. He hasn’t posted a WAR over 3.0 since 2016, but it’s clear that he still has Major League innings left in his career. He isn’t an ace any more, but he can contribute to a contending team. Should the Milwaukee Brewers look to add Hamels to their rotation mix this off season?
How did Hamels throw in 2019?
Hamels was actually pretty solid for a mediocre Chicago Cubs rotation. He made 27 starts, threw 141 2/3 innings, and managed a 3.81 ERA for the Brewers rival. He struck out 143, walked 56, and surrendered 17 homers.
