Yeah, I've been following the Hamilton story since Spring Training. My nephew played ball against Hamilton in North Carolina. Everyone knew he was something really, really, special. A rare, rare, talent.
This could be a great story. As long as Hamilton can keep his head on straight and stay clean, he's bound for superstardom -- the talent is simply breathtaking. He hits for average, a ton of power, has a strong, accurate, arm -- nailed Skip Schumaker at the plate today -- and is still young enough to fulfill the sort of expectations Tampa Bay had when they drafted him. A franchise-type talent, but even if he never quite gets back to that, he's going to be awfully good...
