Our planet is a lonely speck in the great enveloping cosmic dark. In our obscurity, in all this vastness, there is no hint that help will come from elsewhere to save us from ourselves. -- Carl Sagan (Pale Blue Dot)
Picked a bad week for that comp.

Tonight Sliding Billy shows just what he can do. Infield single. Steals 2nd, to 3rd on the catcher's throw. scores on a groundout to 2nd.
Hamilton starting to find his groove at the dish. 3 more hits tonight and 9 runs scored in last 4 games.

For those keeping track at home, this lifts Billy's line to .236/.291/.343
The most encouraging stat this year for Billy is that his K rate is down to a career low of 15.9%. Limiting Ks will be pivotal for a guy like Billy who can do so much when the ball is put into play.

They talked about Billy on Fringe Average this week (while also giving Doug a shout out) and Parks seems to be a little down on whether or not Hamilton's bat will play in the bigs.

Simple question without regard to how he would adjust...
But how long do you expect Billy's super-speed to last? At what age does he become just a "fast" runner.
.243/.301/.343
