Josh Hamilton as an Angel (through August 9)

[Angelsjunky]

218 games, .255/.316/.428, 246 strikeouts, 2.9 fWAR.

 

How about them apples.

 

Biggest $$$/performance duds in Angels history:

 

1. Vernon Wells

2. Gary Matthews Jr

3. Josh Hamilton

4. Albert Pujols

5. Mo Vaughn

 

Or something like that.

I'm confused by the thread title.

[Angelsjunky]

Add an 0-1 to those numbers.

[AngelsLongBall]

Game winning at bat! Pop foul

[The God of Runs]

Josh Hamilton = Steve Finley

[Glen]

He won't even hit 15 HR this year. And, he won't ever not hit fourth.

[QuinlansMinion]

I wont say Gary Matthews was the 2nd worst.  5 years 50 million seems like chump change right now.   

[NrM]

What's aybar's numbers since he came back

Numbers look about right considering how often he swings and misses. No chance he's anything more than a .250 hitter when he's striking out at a 30% clip. The only surprise is the big power decline

 

He's pretty much been Gary Matthews Jr here, statistically

 

Guy showed a ton of red flags the 2nd half of 2012 and this team just ignored them all and gave him that contract when his market was actually pretty tame

5/$50M in 2007 is probably like 5/$80M now in terms of contract inflation. Consider that Little Sarge had ONE previous good season and was going to be 32 that year. It was Bill Stoneman's worst moment in an otherwise excellent run as the Angels GM.

[Angelsjunky]

Hamilton will probably end up passing everyone except Wells, and by the end of the ten years Albert will be the undisputed #1.

Josh Hamilton = Steve Finley

Maybe in terms of production with the Angels, but Hamilton is making a ton more money than Finley made with the Angels.

[bloodbrother]

Hamilton will probably end up passing everyone except Wells, and by the end of the ten years Albert will be the undisputed #1.

 

Final rankings will be

 

1. Pujols

2. Hamilton

3. Wells

4. GMJ

5. Moo

 

I think Hamilton passes Wells since he's under contract for a year longer than Wells was, so that's another year of wasting $20+ million

[Tank]

*sigh*

 

mo vaughn hit well when he was here. he was a total dbag, but he hit well.

[Angelsjunky]

Vaughn went from being an excellent hitter to a merely above average one. His numbers as an Angel look good on the surface, but that was 1999-2000 when 30 HR wasn't all that special. His two years prior to coming to the Angels were at 150 and 151 wRC+; as an Angel he was 115 and 114, the injured for an entire year before being traded to the Mets. He was being paid huge money at the time to hit similarly to what Pujols is doing this year.

[AngelsAndRamsFan]

0-7 tonight and his batting average is down to .263.

[Blarg]

Hamilton needs to be benched and when he returns he bats 6th.

[tdawg87]

Man, **** this guy. I hope he quits baseball.

[Halos of Anaheim]

It's so depressing watching Pujols and Hamilton hit back to back.

[ten ocho recon scout]

Its not just that hes bad, its that he makes 'too blessed to be stressed' seem like an erstad quote

[bloodbrother]

My favorite thing about Hamilton is that after every retarded ass swing and miss he just taps the bat on his cleat

 

guy looks like he doesn't give one shit about anything

[ten ocho recon scout]

Hes grown erstads beard, aquired erstads bat

And none of the likeability

[The God of Runs]

But, he'll get your red on
