to be fair though, he did knock in a run on a bloop hit to left-center. which he turned into a double. i think you have to assume that anything he hits into the outfield is going to turn into a double. because, well, everything he hits is so soft that it gives him time to use that blazing speed..."Instead of all of this energy and effort directed at the war to end drugs, how about a little attention to drugs which will end war?"

Originally posted by Hornsby View PostYou mean the guy who's currently on pace to steal 51 bags, while hitting .171? I'll take the chance that he'll raise his average by at least 50 points, which will probably add 20-30 more bags to the total.

Originally posted by Hornsby View PostSo if Hamilton stays, it's because there's another reason other than being a contributor to a MLB team? Got it...good to know.

Originally posted by cavebird View PostHell, he doesn't have to be that much of a competitor. His replacements are Bernadina and Heisey. He just has to not be completely horrific.
Point is that it's early, and for some reason, people seem to like to pick on Hamilton as not being worthy of a big league spot. Eleven pages so far devoted to the kid...let's see where he is at the end of May."Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake."

Originally posted by RSF View PostHe is hitting exactly as anyone who paid attention to his minor league career expected him to. He is solid defensively in CF and a threat any time he gets on.
Abreu's OBP is vastly higher, so it's an odd comparison to make.
The real question is how long a leash he has.
As far as Hamilton's minor league stats, he's a career .350 OPB guy, and that includes his "down" year at AAA ball. Nothing in his stats suggest that he won't be an impact offensive player once he adjusts."Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake."

maybe people are looking at more relevant stats like OPS, where Hamilton ranks behind 12 of the 14 guys on your list. you cherry-picked Hamilton's least-awful category, obviously. and given that Hamilton's OBP last year in AAA was .308, almost by your own definition it sounds like he'll need at least a year there to "adjust." nothing in his stats suggests he can just skip that higher grade. A to High A doesn't count.Last edited by Judge Jude; 04-19-2014, 12:17 PM.finished 10th in this 37th yr in 11-team-only NL 5x5
