Bad AC joints, huh? Got those replaced on my car not too long ago. Sounds like they need to take Josh in for repairs

The headline was missing some quotation marks.  It should have read "Sore Shoulder" Sidelines Angels' Hamilton.

This season has been am absolute bust for Hamilton between injury and poor production.

Should have kept Trumbo

What's Reggie Willits up to these days?

This season has been an absolute bust for Hamilton between injury and poor production.

How about the last 2 seasons? I guess you have to cut him a little slack with a broken hand this year but he's actually been pretty consistent since April 2013.....

Shea Hillenbrand is available.

Cowgill is better than the current Josh Hamilton,sadly. 

[Angel Oracle]

Cowgill is a solid 4th OF to take Hamilton's spot.    Still need a productive DH though.

[DB24]

I hear cortisone shots cause muscle weakness. Is that true?

Calhoun RF

Trout CF

Aybar SS (best hitter on the team right now)

Pujols DH (OPS 300 points higher as DH)

Kendrick 2B

Iannetta C

Freese/Beckham 3B

Navarro 1B

Cowgill LF

 

8-9-1-2-3-4 is left/right/left/right/switch/right

 

When Hamilton returns, bat him 5th or 6th.

I've never heard of that part of the female anatomy referred to as the AC joint.

Aybar is the best hitter on the team.

Never expected that to be a true statement.

I have an AC joint issue as well and I can tell you it is not something that is healed by a cortisone shot.  I am no longer baffled at the weak hits Hamilton has produced this season....you have no strength because of no joint support due to intense pain.

 

He will not be productive for 2014 if it is severe......maybe next year.

[Jeff M]

Cowgill is better than the current Josh Hamilton,sadly. 

 

When I heard this news on the radio this morning I thought to myself, who would you rather have at the plate with 2 outs in the 9th , a runner on 2nd, down by a run in a critical game: Hamilton or Cowgill?

 

This injury might make our team better.

[fan_since79]

Hope we get a productive 2016 out of him.

You've never heard of the Areola and Clitoris?

[Angel Oracle]

How long has it been "bothering" him?

[Angelsjunky]

Hamilton has been a busy for two years now. What a disappointment.

three more years, three more years.....
