Josh Hamilton

According to BA, Josh Hamilton is back and going to make another attempt at playing baseball again. He will be reporting to extended spring training for the Devil Rays.

I hope Hamilton can still put his talent to good use, and wrote an article about him over at my site:

Top Cubs Prospects

So what do you project he will do this year? As with his career thus far, I truely have no idea what to expect.

no biggie

normally I wouldn't have pointed it out, but I had just gone through that thread.

I read an AP report and it sounds like he finally "gets it". Gets it in being an adult. Hopefully he can lead a happy life.

"Josh Hamilton went on to be drafted by the Tampa Bay Devil Rays with the first pick in the 1999 draft and after a decent minor league start, has had drug and emotional problems ever since, including an obsession with tattoos."

nope

a tattoo isn't, an obsession with tattoos could be considered bad.

Hamilton

Right now he is in extended spring training. The Toronto Sun reports that yesterday during batting practice he hit 12 bombs (7 of tape measure variety) in a limited amount of time. If MLB lifts the suspension, there may just be time to get this guy turned around into a borderline prospect again, as he still has some of his skills that made him the first overall pick back in 99.
