Setting Goals

Cole Hamels wants to be great:

Cole Hamels is different. Ask the 24-year-old Phillies lefty what he's shooting for this season, and he comes out firing.

He wants to win 20 games. He wants to win the Cy Young Award. He wants to pitch a no-hitter and hopes the game is nationally televised when he does. He wants to pitch in the All-Star Game and the World Series.

And when it's all over - his career, that is - he wants to make the Hall of Fame.

I really like this. The more competitive a player, the more I'd want him on my team. These players often turn out not to be the nicest people, but as far as putting a winning team on the field, give me as many of these types as you can find.

The Baseball Musings pledge drive continues through March. Please consider making a donation.
