bmags Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 https://twitter.com/nightengalejr/status/1068600588638801925 I find this interesting. Contenders should be all over this after the base stealing specialist was a thing last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YouCanPutItOnTheBoardYES! Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 The Reds just non-tendered him...should the Sox be all over this? I'd take him over Engel in a heartbeat. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Sacamano Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 Yeah I would 100% gamble on him. Let him hit 9th and catch everything hit in CF and the gaps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmags Posted November 30, 2018 Author Share Posted November 30, 2018 I just think that hamilton is going to be in the league until he's like 38 but only playing in september/october each year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick Allen Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 How much better is Hamilton than Engel? He can steal more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His defense is better, his base stealing is way better, his hitting is slightly better with the potential of being a good bit better (assuming Hamilton can improve under a new hitting coach) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hamilton and Terence Gore are gonna become fierce rivals for that roster spot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FT35 Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 (edited) Jarrod Dyson has had a nice career as a role player on contending teams. Billy could follow a similar path. Edited November 30, 2018 by FT35 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iWiN4PreP Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 I'd love Billy Ham as a bench/4th OF, but we aren't a contending team. There's just no reason for him to be added to the CWS at this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eminor3rd Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 Im into this. He may not be a whole lot better than Engel, but if you have two of them, you increase your shot that one works out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
he gone. Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 I think the price will ultimately end up being too high because of his name/past pedigree/speed so I see someone else overpaying. However, I wouldn't mind trying him out in CF over Engel and other in house options at this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Sacamano Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 Platoon them and then you have a great defensive 4th OF on the bench every game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He made a little less than Avi this year, so that means the Reds didn't want to pay him $6 or $7 million in arbitration. If we have to bid $5 for him instead of $4, is that a huge loss to us?
