If I told you that Mike Hampton was hurt again, would you believe me?

It's a familiar refrain, this time from south of the border: Mike Hampton is hurt again.
The Braves left-hander injured his right hamstring in the first inning of his first start in the Mexican Winter League last week. He left after one inning, and it's uncertain if he'll pitch again this winter....
Wren said Hampton called him Friday and told him the bad news, and the GM was informed by trainers that the muscle had "bled out," usually a sign of something more than a mild strain.
First inning of his first start...
I never expected him to pitch in Atlanta again. I say we need to go into Spring Training with at least 7 healthy pitchers, not including Hampton. At thispoint, I'm all for taking him back behind the wood shed...
