watching Josh Hamilton makes me want to go to the batting cages.

Is grady out officially? If he is I quit this stupid contest.

Grady walks in the room and slams down his $ and says “I’M OUT”
Dear Mr. Sabean, I hear you have a reputation of being stupid. Want to deal Lincecum or Cain? You can pick THREE of these 4 players for either: Borowski, Dellucci, Blake, Byrd.

It was the naked lady in the apartment across the street that did it to him.

I’ve got to go…things to get done. That 1st round was surprisingly fun, though.

Yeah, I figured no one was going to keep watching this. But that other thread was unwieldy.

So, when they renovated Yankee Stadium in the 1970s, how much did they actually leave?

Epic thread so far guys. And that was friggin ridiculous.

I lost a bet to my little brother because I said that both teams’ jerseys would have pin stripes.

While Hamilton’s body of work doesn’t stack up against some other All Stars, I certainly don’t think it’s out of the question to say he’s among the handful of most talented players in the game right now…. Michael Young, who played next to ARod in Texas, said Rodriguez and Hamilton are the two best players he’s ever seen….His backstory makes it all the more interesting, but the fact is there’s not more than 5-10 guys on the face of the earth who could’ve just put on a display like that….

Kind of a pity Grady’s bombs were dwarfed like that.

Well What the F?
“the ESPN Sports Almanac considers the renovated stadium to be “Yankee Stadium II,” and the pre-renovated facility to be “Yankee Stadium I.”
So all this over the house that ruth didn’t really build?

As an aside, and not that we’ll ever know,but does anyone even think that the Indians were in on the trade discussions going on around Hamilton last winter….. I don’t know if Adam Miller straight up would’ve intrigued the Reds, but then I don’t know if the Indians, given their tendency to horde their prospects, would’ve taken that kind of risk…..

Yes, so that I can keep Looch in left.

I doubt it. I mean, he was SUCH an unknown commodity at that point. Maybe there was Cliff Lee talk but Lee’s value was super low and I bet the Reds wanted someone younger.

Volquez had been pretty underwhelming in his MLB appearances, if I remember correctly.

2005-2007: 80 IP, 64 ER, 42BB, 55K.
He was young and decent, but nothing that screams “League Strikeout Leader”
I guess the NL just really does suck.

i mean, trade hamilton. i think his value was higher than it even should have been at the time – but clearly way less than it apparently actually was.

Yes Hamilton was still a largely unknown commodity, even after having a mostly successful run last year with the Reds…. There were still questions about whether his body would hold up, and if I recall, those were where most of the issue were coming from… no one that I can recall ever doubted his ability, to hit, hit for power or average and to play in the field…..
I guess (and yes, hindsight is 20/20) in comparison to Miller and what he’s done, the ONLY THING I know about Adam Miller is that he can’t stay healthy….. and Volquez, while not exactly having had success in the big leagues, had at least reached that level and still had a big league arm and stuff….

He’s uber Christian now. They didn’t have a problem with Jamey Carroll being that way.

I wonder if he’s read Free Byrd.
Also, I’d read a gritty details Josh Hamilton biography.

Hamiton?..... yeah, I’m sure being a former cystal meth addict isn’t exactly what Wedge wants in his OFs…. much better to have someone out there with a .280 OB

Rick Reilly just strung together a few of the dumbest comments I’ve ever heard on TV.

ESPN is looking to create a new phrase to replace “jumping the shark”...maybe “hiring Reilly”or “making Kruk look good”

Reilly might be good in print (and he’s lost a lot off his fastball IMHO) but he’s absolutely horrid on TV
by harp1987 on Jul 14, 2008 10:15 PM EDT 0 recs
Yes….. losing Rushin in SI was much more of a blow than Reilly…..... but to replace them with Dan Patrick…. the ultimate jocksniffer….. BLECH!!!!!!!!

Sorry for the hiatus. I was moved to blog about Hamilton.
