I'm guessing he hits around .280/.330/.520 with 30 HR. I think worst-case scenario is something like .265/.310/.470 with 25 HR, which while not being worth the money isn't a total embarrassment.

He needs caffeine and tobacco.

Worst case scenario is a lot better than he did last year?

 

Nah.. worst case scenario is he could decline even more

Hamilton needs to return to his career norms against lefties.

If he struggles like he did last year against them, it's going to bring his overall production way down.

Josh Hamilton has put up some amazing numbers during his career but his lifetime batting average in Anaheim is only .245

Am I the only one that's alarmed by the muscle/weight percentage?  He gained 28lbs, but only 15 of that was muscle... whiskey, tango, foxtrot - over...

He could be Mr. Universe for all I care.  I want to know if he figured out how to hit an offspeed breaking ball over the winter.

He doesn't look out of shape to me tbh. He looks healthy

Josh Hamilton has fewer home runs in Anaheim this year than Efren Navarro

[bloodbrother]

Hopefully this offseason he can learn how to read offspeed pitches

 

that and learn how to not be a hacker at the plate. At his age, chances are nil either of these things happen

[yk9001]

It shocks me he even is hitting .266

Three more (long) years.

91 K's in 264 AB's.

[Angel Oracle]

He's bulked up the Ks.

[ukyah]

i really thought he was going to rebound this year. clearly, i was wrong. he's garbage. pujols and hamilton have hamstrung the angels. at least we're getting production out of pujols this year, although not nearly worth the salary ramifications.

How the h_ll did this team lead the majors in runs scored at the ASB?
