Hamels throws, arm stays attached

Cole Hamels is back ... ok, not really. But he actually held a baseball in his hand Saturday. He even threw it softly 45 times at a stepped-off distance of 60 feet.
The good news is that the southpaw didn't feel the discomfort that has sidelined him for three weeks. Pitching coach Rich Dubee also said he liked Hamels' "body language," for what that's worth. Of course, Dubee's the guy who thought pushing back Kyle Kendrick another day and starting John Ennis was a bright idea. And that starting Ennis instead of Fabio Castro was smart, since "the Marlins are better against left-handed pitchers."

Does that mean that Hanley Ramirez would have figured out a way to hit a leadoff two-run homer off Castro, because he just started this game with a solo jack.
