Reports surfaced last month that Cole Hamels dealt with shoulder issues last season.

"I don't know of anything that happened," Hamels insisted. "I've been healthy. That's the last thing on my list. ... I haven't felt anything of that sort. That's the honest truth. I don't know. I wasn't the one that started it. I know I feel good and I'm ready to go. That's all I can really answer. That's kind of where it is. Same program, ready for Spring Training and finally getting out of the cold. That will be a lot nicer. I'm very excited."

When asked about the report, Ruben Amaro said the Phillies shut down Hamels' throwing program for a couple of weeks and he has been fine since.
