Josh Hamiltion = Jason Kubel?

[Can_of_corn]

New fangraphs piece detailing Hamilton's decline. Not surprisingly he is swinging at everything. Surprisingly, his closest comp over the last season is Jason Kubel.

Now I am not going to hunt down everyone that wanted the O's to sign Hamilton...you know who you are.

It seems like he managed to hit some sort of breaking point with his contact vs. swing% that turned him into an awful hitter.

One month into a contract is not time to pat ourselves on the back, but early indications are that many people on this board, and more importantly, in the Angels FO, are looking not real smart right now!

Baseball is a game of constant adjustments. Hamilton is certainly talented, maybe he adjusts.

But being a fan of a team that eschews big ticket free agents, I won't pass up the opportunity for some schadenfreude!

Hamilton has always swung at bad pitches his entire career. He was like Vlad where he could hit bad pitches out of the park. The difference now is he is missing all of those pitches.
