Josh Hamilton to the Rescue

Well actually I did. You said "Feel free to post links to support your bullshit - dumbfuck" because you didn't believe I had any articles backing up what I said, but I did post the link and yet you're still babbling.

Good lord. Arguing with you is like trying to hold a conversation with a lobotomized stoner. I explained at length in that article how NBA teams rarely draft guys on the basis of their college production. They draft them based on their potential as pros, which is why some guys who did little in college get drafted ahead of players who had storied college careers. How can you not get that?

For so many things.

 

Josh has Jesus Christ in his life and gives Him all the credit for his recovery. I believe sir you might ought to look into the great life Jesus offers to all people who will just accept Him.
Have a great day...

 

Yeah, what he said

 

Jesus kept eating all my chips and drinking my beer, so he had to go.

 

Jesus --> <-- Collin

 

Hamilton is having an absolute monster season. The deal that sent him to Texas turns out to be a plus for both teams. The Reds needed pitching and Volquez has been great leading the NL in ERA. Hamilton has the nation pulling for him. It's amazing to me how forgiving this country can be. Hamilton is a guy who had the world at his fingertips as an 18 year old. Amazing talent, big signing bonus and he took a wrong path. He was given multiple chances to get himself turned in the right direction but it took a trip to the bottom to make a change. The country loves the story and why not? Roy Hobbs reincarnated.

 

Roy Hobbs got shot and didn't shoot up. I am happy for Hamilton and yes, he is having an unbelievable year, but so did Soriano with that 40/40 year, but he isn't one of the BEST EVER.

 

That's a really good analogy to compare it to Soriano. He put together a good year or two and then kind became mediocre, which isn't to say Hamilton will. Until he proves he won't he'll just be an above average player.

 

I wouldn't say that Soriano is "mediocre", I mean, he is one of the best in the game today. To say that Soriano is one of the "best ever" would be wrong on so many levels. But, I think that Soriano is better than Josh Hamilton in the rankings of "best ever" mainly because the man did what so few have done before.

 

Fair enough... I would agree that he's one of the best for a second basemen, but as far as an outfielder he's above average.
