"This isn’t stats vs scouts - this is stats and scouts working together, building an organization that blends the best of both worlds. This is the blueprint for how a baseball organization should be run. And, whether the baseball men of the 20th century like it or not, this is where baseball is going."---Dave Cameron, U.S.S. Mariner
I'm highly dubious of Hamilton's being able to put it together and perform over the course of a full season. Sure, he could surprise a few pitchers early on with a quick bat or whatever, but he's still got to ride around on training wheels at the MLB level, and that's a hell of a place to apprentice.
Still, I think we all should just get used to Hamilton being around; Jerry and the press have a ton of publicity tied up in this kid to let him go anytime soon. I hope he can make it.
