Josh Hamilton

If we can get the Angels to pay a chunk of his deal think the Orioles should go after him? He apparently is being dangled by the Angels.

I love Josh Hamilton. Love his story. This is being discussed in another thread, but worth a new one.

I would be just happy if we did SOMETHING:)

No

They would have to eat a crap ton of money for me to be interested. He is owed 90 million of the next 3 years!!!! Yikes! Maybe if they ate 80 million

He's owed 3/75 so they'd have to eat 35-45 million. He's been a 700 OPS guy the last few seasons. If it happened he'd be my DH to protect his health. And the asking price in players would have to be modest. I don't see it happening although he'd be an adequate replacement for Cruz if he rebounds.

I would not want to take on the back end of a long term contract without them eating some money, but he has hit well at Camden Yards.[video=youtube;PmrFnhDx1RE]

He kills us at Camden, that is true, but he hasn't done much of anything in the last two years to make me think he will ever be anything close to what we saw in Texas. His K rate is way up...so either he needs to have his eye sight tested or his bat speed has slowed significantly.

I like Hamilton, but I think he is done. He just doesn't seem to have the bat speed or strike zone judgement that he used to have and I don't think he's going to be very productive over the next two seasons.

Yes let's do something just to do something. As for Hamilton I would be a little bit

leery of him. IMO

Josh Hamilton... are we down to grabbing the worst possible option.

I would rather have given Mark Reynolds a million dollars, but the Cardnals just signed him.

Dariel Alvarez is the answer. What is the question?

He has an interesting story, but he came across as an enormous jack-arse in that offseason when he was a free agent - using religion as an excuse to make as much money as he possibly could.

Mark got close to 3 million if he hits his incentives. Plus, we don't need to sign anyone.

No

Absolutely YES.. He's a beast.

If they are willing to pitch in 125% of his salary I will be OK with it.

I saw this rumor (aboutHamilton being shopped) and thought the same thing. I just don't think the Angel's are going to be willing to eat enough of his salary to make it enticing to the Orioles. I know they have bottomless pockets, but I really think they're trying to get out from under his contract from a financial standpoint, more than trying to dump a player.
