Re: Two national guys chime in on Billy Hamilton today

Given his skill: blazing speed, I think it behooves the Reds not to leave him in the minors for too long. He's not likely to retain that skill in his 30s. He's going to age like an NFL tailback. In addition, I'd like to implore the Reds to encourage him to cut back on his stealing in the minors. Work on his success percentage and steal less than 50 next year at Louisville. I do understand that he needs time o learn the OF. I picture him as Deion Sanders in CF only with a better arm. Deion took questionable routes to get to balls but more often than not speed made up for it
