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

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.

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