Yeah, Hamels takes all the proper precautions, and he gets questioned as soft by fans and media. It's a no-win situation.
Lidge had his best year in '08 and worst year in '09, but he'll be late by a couple weeks for a season that will be neither perfect nor brutal. Madson or Baez will fill in for 2 weeks, which is no big deal.
