Chances Josh Hamilton is a Yankee as soon as his contract is up: 100%

worse scenario: he goes in the post-HR derby funk (like many/most do), and due to this he relapses

that's a thing that lowers his value in the trade, for the record. addicts almost always have 1 relapse in them



STFU

it sounds ludicrous but over time people will see.

He spent three years destroying his body and two years later he's still stronger than anyone in the game and top 5 in speed.

Maybe, I think he'll be okay, though.

The Rangers need to lock this guy up. This is the type a player you can build a team around for many years

i wonder what would have happened if Bo had just stayed with one sport, either one.

was his hip degenerative or was it an injury he suffered?

So he's actually faster than one of Bourn, Crawford, Gomez, Upton, or Reyes (just to name a few)?

i think this would mean more with baseball, because it is so skill-based (and repetition based, for the most part)

bo was a good RB who had insane speed, but as a RB on the NFL level he was overrated

in all honesty yes. Don't confuse this with SB speed, just pure speed.

I don't know about this...he split time with Marcus Allen and only played 3.5 years. These stats are pretty impressive when you're splitting time with someone.

2782 yards, 16 TDs, 5.4 per carry

The post-Hamilton ABs are pretty anticlimactic.
