Rangers have announced that it is a shoulder contusion and he is listed as day-to-day. Today was the first day of drills for position players. There is no scheduled MRI for Hamilton.

WTF?
Why the fuck is he diving for balls on the first day? Why would anyone be doing that? Thats like asking to get hurt.

I've found this trend around here lately...
People just “saying” ‘rec’ rather than actually doing the reccing.

not to overreact
but if these little issues continue, it may be shrewd to start thinking of him as more of a DH option. Obviously that would negate his incredible arm, so that is a last resort, but we NEED his bat in the lineup this year.
What is this, Horseville? Because I'm surrounded by naysayers.
Didn't somebody link or do some kind of a study on OF arms
That indicates Hamilton’s isn’t very effective, despite it being a cannon?
Morality you can fake. Fun you either have or you don't.
I did some homework on it.
Found a site where he was below average.
This one
I was debating with someone that he may have an arm, but he really wasn’t that good of a defender in the OF, or more to the point, he made bad throws.

he has a cannon, but his throws seem to have lots of "tail" thus rarely being on target. Seems like he just needs to make a little adjustment or something..

hamilton is very quickly going to label himself as a DH

easy easy people!
A little harsh there…
Josh loves baseball, you can’t blame him for going out there and giving it his all by diving during drills. Just an unlucky situation. It sounds like its nothing too serious.
Calm down and wait it out. He’s going to be fine.
The only reaction most of us know here is that of the kneejerk variety.
It’s just how we roll.

it sounds like TJ isn’t a certainty yet, but still…bummer.

Over/under on the year Josh becomes a full-time 1B and/or DH?
2012?

1B?
No way. LF or DH, thats it.

He'll injure himself
as much in left as right.

You mean never 1B with the Rangers? I agree...
…but if he ends up with another team I could see it. He’s left-handed and it’s a less stressful position physically than OF.

The fact that this infuriates me is very puzzling.

I'll speak for myself,
but knowing how badly we need him to stay healthy and he’s already injured on the first day of workouts? Really concerns me that this may be reality slapping me in the forehead.
He may never play at 100%, and that is very frustrating.

oh my god, Josh are you dumb or what?
If the Rangers don't make the play-offs this year I'm gonna go all Epic Bearded Man on your ass.
Says the man who doesn't preview his post to see if his pic will show up.

it showed up initially...
but it looks like I had too much stuff on there…so I removed a lot so we’ll see what happens..
What is your dog wearing in your avatar?

A tux I made for him.
I dressed him up to propose to my girlfriend. I made the tux from a champagne cover for weddings. Just a few cuts and a little hemming and he was ready to go.

Thanks. He's as spoiled as my wife.
I was always a bird dog or lab guy. Guess who picked him out?

there's a couple that lives behind me
with a pair of little dogs much like the one shown in your avatar. i’m now going to pretend that we’re neighbors.
Any guy with Mega Man as their avatar can be my neighbor.
So we’re good.

This team is fucking cursed...
a couple days into ST and Holland and Hamilton already have minor injuries and Poveda is gone with TJ.
You get so pumped up for baseball and then shit like this happens. It’s like someone shitting in your breakfast cereal to start the day.

I actually take solace in the fact that so far Holland appears to be ok, and Poveda is just Poveda
Hamilton, well that’s a bit of a bigger deal, but hopefully it isn’t any more serious than Dutch’s thing.

Another thing...

He'll tear it up in the GDT, but hopefully I'll have the time to be there too.
And he usually has much more substance to his posts. I really don’t bring much to the table except fart jokes and the occasional insight into my feeble baseball mind.
