Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Mike Hampton will lose yet another season to a torn flexor tendon in his left elbow. He’s expected to miss 6 to 9 months.

Hampton, 34, hasn’t pitched in a game since August 19, 2005. He was three days from making his first spring training start when he pulled his oblique muscle taking batting practice. The Braves signed free agent Mark Redman to fill in, but Hampton was told soon after he could expect to return in early May.

Hampton should be cut from your team and don’t you ever think about signing or drafting him again.
