  1. Nice job, Dave. I agree with Lou. I don't sense that Hamilton has the milk of human kindness coursing through his veins.
  2. I believe there is more to this. I think the Angels want to see if another club would be interested in Hamilton's extended spring training progress. Seems to me Arte is trying to save some bucks and appease the players by doing this.
  3. The way the Angels are hitting the Toledo Mudhens' pitching staff would be licking their chops to face this team.
  4. Pretty sure we won't win 1-0. But I wasn't a math major.
  5. My lasting image is of Hamilton jogging to 1B on a groundout.
  6. Probably no need to dust off the trophy case this year.
  7. I have no idea what his contract says but it is clear he did not live up to his moral commitment - and that commitment is that he has been not worthy of the contract he signed. He is not baseball worthy that being living up to his agreement to be clean. IMO it is not a baseball issue and he should not be playing in a sport that requires you to be clean. The personal side is completely different. Maybe the Angels should pay for his recovery - it's again a contract issue of which I don't have access to - but does that mean the team should pay for his recovery? I feel sorry for him, but that doesn't mean the team should continue to absorb the big contract he signed. I am completely behind Dipoto's statement. Baseball is a business and no business I know of would put up with the relapses Hamilton has had.
  8. Humorous piece on Yahoo today. http://www.lookoutlanding.com/2015/3/23/8280671/erasmo-ramirez-takes-one-look-at-pending-employment-says-no-thank-you
  9. Yep, the loss of Hamilton, Conger and Jeppy will hurt.
  10. Daron Sutton? Will we be seeing more of him this season? I've always liked him.
  11. Patiently waiting for the first "Fire Scioscia" post.
  12. I care for Hamilton as a person, but not as a player on my favorite baseball team. Baseball-wise he has been nothing but a slug for the Angels and they still owe him $90 large.
  13. Cashing paychecks? Last evening on MLB, the guys were speaking about Hamilton's latest injury. One of them commented that he has been a disappointment for the Angels thus far, but still is owed $83 million for three more years, and still believes the best is yet to come. He said it with a straight face.
