Halos signed hamilton. Not happy with this offseason so far
let tori go because "we have too many outfielders. Let Haren, Santana and Grienke go. We were deep in outfielders and short on pitching. The solution is to sign another outfielder for the same cost as keeping Tori and Haren. Is Hamilton worth more than Haren and Tori? I don't think so. Plus I'm not sold on Hamilton as being consistent for the next 5 years. Plus I have a good chance of seeing him out at a bar in Newport after a bad week of baseballJay wrote:

He's been a top ten pitcher over the past three years. He's not a one year wonder.KEN-JENNINGS wrote:
lets not forget he is an old man who throws knuckleballs. Chance of him being good for more than one season are very slim. I get the attachment to him, after all, he won a Cy Young as a member of your team....but it's a good idea to trade him while his value is high.
Yanks are old, Rays have no hitting, Red Sox are garbage, Orioles are meh. Blue Jays have the best lineup in the division and he doesn't have to pitch to themCC-Marley wrote:
