My guess is because they can pitch against a pitcher and not a DH but I'm not sure.

The only logical NL destinations for Hamels would be the Dodgers and the Cubs. I highly doubt the Cubs are interested now since they signed Lester. Don't really think any other NL teams have the prospects to make a Hamels deal worth it for the Phillies.

Astros sign Luke Gregerson to 3 year deal.

Doubt it. Sandberg's comments yesterday probably mean the sox stay far away. And I'm fine with that.

They are also on the verge of signing Pat Neshak as well.

Edit: Jon Heyman says deal is done.

Surprised to see him leave St. Louis for Houston.

Oooof. Red Sox Nation just got the 'It's not you, it's me' breakup line.

Why not the Giants? I could see a package headlined by Kyle Crick etc.. being enough to get Hamels (maybe toss in Joe Panik and another spect or 2). Heck I could even see the Padres sneaking in there after they get some bats--Hamels would be ELITE at Petco.
