Billy Hamilton - Fastest Man in Baseball
Linky
Billy Hamilton sounds like the real deal.
Re: Billy Hamilton - Fastest Man in Baseball
Nice link... 29 SB in 23 games is ridiculous. wonder where he fits in over the next 3 or so years if hes ready to come up with cozart and phillips blocking him
Re: Billy Hamilton - Fastest Man in Baseball
They are keeping him at SS all year. I think you see Cozart move to third and Hamilton stay at SS.

We might see Phillips move to third and have Hamilton play 2nd. His range will be appreciated there and his average arm won't be a factor. Phillips playing at 3b will be able to focus more on his batting and Cozart is a fine defensive SS.
Re: Billy Hamilton - Fastest Man in Baseball
Wonder if he ever raced Stubbs?

Hamilton by 2 strides.
Re: Billy Hamilton - Fastest Man in Baseball
how far away is he? 2 yrs?
Re: Billy Hamilton - Fastest Man in Baseball
Probably a good guess. He is in High A ball right now. I see him in Double A at the end of the year and AAA next year. Maybe an Invite to the big league camp. I don't see a rush.

lol u will never see BP move to 3rd. Its crazy what some of you guys say sometimes. What makes you think the reds would ever move one of the greatest 2b to play the game?
Re: Billy Hamilton - Fastest Man in Baseball
Im thinking if he continues to progress late next year isnt out of the question.

Man what a great point. Moving from CF to RF is like the exact same thing as moving from 2b to 3b.
