Josh Hamilton is beasting again.

He's got 2 homers in 4 innings.

Bryce Harper with his first lapse of judgment.

I hope he stays a starter for what it's worth. Obviously I only care because of fantasy since I have no allegiance to the Sox, but if he's really this great prospect, and his elbow is ok, he should be starting. If he, Floyd, and Peavy can keep up their good work, and Danks can become more stable, that's a good staff in Chi-town. I mean they all owe it to the amazing Alexei Ramirez (0-4 again tonight lol) to pitch as great as they can.

Exactly, no reason to put Sale in the bullpen, considering he spent all off-season working to become a starter and they yanked him for really no reason. A rotation of Peavy, Danks, Floyd, Sale, and Humber(if he ever comes around) is a very good starting rotation. And as for Youks to the ChiSox? I'd love that trade, considering we don't give away too many prospects. 3B is our biggest need right now imo.

Josh Hamilton with some godlike numbers so far. Does anyone think he has a chance to make a run for Bonds record?

**Brye** · 05-12-2012, 05:20 PM

Anybody ever wonder what Hamilton would be like without the addiction phase of his life?

**Bogey** · 05-12-2012, 05:36 PM

Who knows? In a way that adversity might have been good for his life and career. When you've hit rock bottom and experienced a variety of lows baseball doesn't seem so daunting.

He likely would have made the majors a lot sooner and played the duration of his career as a good to very good player, but not the force that he is today. After overcoming addiction, the baseball thing has come easy for him, as you can see by the numbers lol.
