What Geoff said Jeff.

[Mark68]

Thanks. This actually answers a question I had in the other Hamilton thread/online serial.

Short and sweet, with great info. Thanks Jeff!

Thank you Jeff for the info.

Mr. Hamilton according to the policy no harm, no foul. See you in May even though you don't necessary play for the fans, we will still be there paying to see you play.

So Josh will not have to worry about bouncing any checks. Good for him.

Sorry arte. You thought you had an out lol

[Lou]

i'd have to say i'm 100% sure Arte knew that he couldn't void the contract in Hamilton's case

hell, people on AW knew it

Short and sweet, with great info. Thanks Jeff!

that's what i appreciated,too

straight facts explained well without any grandstanding or speculation

[LAAMike]

It would be still good to know when MLB will be releasing their determination on this matter. The sooner that happens, the sooner we can move on and Josh can get on to what he has to do.

That's exactly what I appreciate most about his articles.

Maybe the commissioner will do us a solid and just ban him from baseball out right.  

 

If only we could make this a big issue somehow.  We could protest about how we want the game cleaned up and how drug addicts should not be allowed back in to baseball after so many repeated offenses.  Im thinking of that Ray Rice situation in the NFL right now, although I know beating your wife and doing drugs are entirely different things.

 

We need congress to step in here.  What kind of message are you sending to kids if you allow Hamilton to come back to baseball after doing drugs again?  

[Lou]

Congress?

Oh brother

[beatlesrule]

I can still hope he does get suspended though.

[disarcina]

good work - these are the questions most of us are asking.......

 

potential salary and luxury tax relief here.

[notherhalo]

lets not hope for Congress to step in if you want to get something done

[NrM]

Just a suggestion for future posts.

If Jeff Fletcher wrote the article, let us know.

 

I usually read articles depending on the journalist, not the publication.

what's the point of this?

[QuinlansMinion]

Congress?

Yeah like one of these hearings

 

 

What kind of message are you sending to kids by letting Josh have yet another chance.
