Hamilton crushes....
one today, in Bradenton musta been a mile over the black batters eye in dead centerfield at Mckechnie with a man on. His swing is worth the price of a tic to see. It's hard not to root for this kid to make the 25, even though it's the first game of ST.
The Reds have scheduled a 10:00 a.m. "B" game Sunday March 4 back here at McKechnie before the regular 1:00 game and the word is that Homer will start again in the early one. Wilson update: it's too early to tell if he makes the 25 or not, but he was throwing hard, free and easy like the opening day pitcher he was a while back. Wouldn't that be something? Improved defense? let's go there another day. more Saturday... Ga_Red

technical question - how did Ga_Red post in the ORG? Not that there's anything wrong with that...

Re: Hamilton crushes....
If you have had ORG access (i.e. 200 or over), you don't lose it until your rep goes below 100 IIRC.

I want the Reds to have better options for the rotation than Paul Wilson's guttiness and mid 80s stuff with no movement. I don't want the kindness of one more spring training invite for what is, by all accounts, a great guy with tremendous work ethic, to impact the season. I don't see why they can't make him an instructor, and keep him in the organization that way. I don't see how he is remotely a better option than Saarloos, or Belisle, or Lizard. I just don't. Sorry to be "that guy"... |

Re: Hamilton crushes....
Nothing wrong with being 'that guy' Mem. Someone has to be the 'voice of reality' around here. Might as well be you getting the bashing.
 I admit that I agree with you.GA Red: Nice to see you post something more than a link. Keep it up!  Rem |

Re: Hamilton crushes....
If he really does have anything left, I only want to see him coming out of the pen. Long relief, set up whatever, but I don't really want to see him starting unless something really bad happens and he's our only option.

Re: Hamilton crushes....
Imagine 2-3 years ago... We would've welcomed Saarloos, Wilson, or Lohse in our rotation, now they are last resorts especially if Bailey pitches great this spring... By June I would love to see this rotation: Harang, Arroyo, Bailey, Lohse, Saarloos...

I have almost no confidence in Milton's spot at all. I will root for him as long as he is a Red but I have about as much confidence when he takes the mound as I did in the days of : Hamilton-Anderson-Haynes BTW...Anderson got rocked in his first cubs outing giving up 4 runs though they were unearned. |
