I missed Beltre so much. Elvis too (yes i know he's not that great i don't care). Rougned please be great. I forget we have Choo and Fielder. BeBetter.
Josh Hamilton is already facing a 2-3 month recovery timetable following shoulder surgery and now Mike DiGiovanna of the Los Angeles Times reports that the Angels outfielder “is meeting with Major League Baseball officials Wednesday about a disciplinary issue and the team is bracing for possible penalties.”
General manager Jerry Dipoto would only confirm that Hamilton is in New York meeting with MLB officials, declining to offer any further details.
Hamilton was not at the Angels’ spring training complex, because the team is allowing him to rehab the injury at home in Texas.
He was previously suspended from 2003-2005, but recovered from drug addiction to win an MVP award for the Rangers and later signed a $125 million deal with the Angels as a free agent. As part of that contract Hamilton must undergo three drug tests per week.

I'm trying my best to be optimistic for The Giants. I dont know any good luck charms or positive magic that I might employ for them to actually win in an odd numbered year. The last time the club won in an odd numbered year was in 1933. Being a glass half full guy, at least until the first major losing streak, It's been 92 years of odd numbered misery and they are way overdue to end their skein and bring the 4th Series in six years to The City. :mark:

At least cocaine involved with Hamilton. So we're talking severe relapse here for him, which is what I assumed. I guess all relapses are severe for addicts.

Truly a sad state of affairs for Josh Hamilton. To see him relapse like this is disheartening to say the least. No matter what one thinks of him as a baseball player I sincerely hope he can sort this terrible matter out in the time he's forcibly removed from the game by the league.
Meanwhile, Dave Cameron has written an expert article on the Yoan Moncada signing in Boston, and reflects upon how, with arbitration salaries yet to be determined for Moncada once he breaks into the Majors, how the totality of what the Red Sox are paying the 19-year-old Cuban prospect, over the course of the next eight or so years, is actually more around $116 million than the $31.5 million (which is doubled due to the league's 100% penalty to $62 million)... Cameron brings up the concept of Net Present Value, something which I considered when the Nationals signed Max Scherzer for his contract with half of the money going out to him being deferred (and indeed Cameron argues that the Moncada signing by Boston is almost the reversal of the Nats' signing of Scherzer since one is in true value more than what it appears and the other is considerably less in true value compared to how it appears)... Fascinating article, I recommend it...

Callaspo claimed to have hired a personal trainer and be in the best shape of his life and reported way out of shape according to Mark Bowman. Hopefully this opens the door for some of our young guys at second base even though I think Peraza may be at least a half a year away from being MLB ready.

I am not sure how I could process the Braves' offseason were I a fan of theirs. They trade Jason Heyward and probably took a bath on that trade (time will tell, I suppose, but Mr and I discussed the "red flags" in the last MLB thread, may it rest in peace); trade Justin Upton and at least that trade looks okay if slightly unremarkable, but all right. The Evan Gattis trade was all right, probably. So they're obviously trying to cut payroll and rebuild but they take on Markakis for 4 years and $44 million when he's roughly the same player Nori Aoki is (maybe worse), who signed with the Giants later on in the offseason for a comparative pittance. And the Callaspo acquisition... lol. I'm sorry but the Braves, I dunno. At least they have Julio Teheran and Freddie Freeman. They should definitely shop Kimbrel at the deadline, particularly if he's having a good season, though.
