What exactly is Hamilton's diagnosis?

[dimitrig]

I haven't seen any article that mentions what exactly is ailing him other than his ribs are sore.

It's his shoulder that has been bothering him

Article from 9/24 says:

 

"Hamilton has played only one game since Sept. 5, first sitting out because of a sore shoulder and lately with soreness in his ribs. The pain in his ribs, however, is gone, Hamilton said Wednesday."

I wonder if he's having some sort of response to the mounting pressure of being part of a playoff team.  probably not, but it seems kind of odd that some phantom injury pops up when it's go time.

The lack of a diagnosis more definitive than soreness that started in one spot and is now in another is something I have to view as a bad sign.

I highly doubt that. He had that sick clutch homer in the 2011 WS in game six in extra innings, only to see it erased by the rangers' pen.

I am starting to think more and more that his body is just straight up breaking down. Whethet his past drug issues are a contributing factor is hard to say but I think physically he cant take the toll of professional sports much longer

I know someone in the TX organization, and was told that Josh has the body of a 40 year old because of the drugs, and he breaks down alot.  It is why they didn't give him a long term deal.

Three more years

I seem to be in the minority in this but I think this team is its best without Hamilton. Hopefully we don't see him until 2015.

the offense definitely is thriving since Howie took his spot.

Do you really know someone with the Rangers who has examined Hamilton before or are you lying.

Kendrick has been raking in the cleanup spot for almost a month now. Hamilton was a big blank spot there. Don't mess with a good thing.
