Josh Hamilton
He has been taken off baseball's restricted list. Any chance he could have any impact on the Rays in this year?

Taking him off the restricted list is just a procedural thing. He is still under indefinite suspension by MLB. Once he is eligible to play,it will probably take at least a year in the minors to clean the rust off, and prove he can stay clean. What a waste of talent. You never know whats going to happen when you make an 18 year old a millionaire, without him earning it.Originally posted by Go Bravos!!!#1Lets get Eddie Basinski elected to the Polish Sports Hall of Fame.

That is really unfortunate, I really think he's not going to ever change his act. I wish him all the best.Simply... TAKING BACK THE EAST IN 2007Comment

Selig is like a stray pigeon. Pigeons are too self-absorbed to care about anyone else. They poo on people they don't like; they poo on people they don't even know. The only real difference between Selig and a pigeon is that Selig intends to bury our heritage, our traditions, and our culture,Comment

I can't dissagree.

It was reported that Hamilton was put on waivers, which was the reason for the Rays taking him off the restricted list. No one claimed him, today the Rays sent him outright to their Durham farm team, to make room on th 40 man roster. Chances are he will never be heard from again. A real shame. Hopefully he can put his life back in order.Lets get Eddie Basinski elected to the Polish Sports Hall of Fame.

He was suspended for herion use nothing to do with steroids. He is a natural baseball player so he should be heard of again if he wants to be. According to Tampa he is still in their mix last I heard which was end of last year before he was suspended.Comment

He is suspended through the 2006 season, and by then he will be 27 years old, and will have not played ball at any level since 2002. I think we can all say that his personal problems have made him one of the all time bust draft picks in baseball history. At this point, he just needs to become a productive member of society and take care of his young baby by getting a job. Forget baseball, because you are no longer a prospect, you are a might have been that hopefully has not blown all of your bonus money, because that will be the last big payday you will ever have through baseball....

The Rays just need to get rid of him outright. I do hope he gets his head straight one of these days. A chance at major league stardom, many millions of dollars, right down the drain.Lets Go Rays!!Comment

To me this is one of the most disappointing stories in baseball. Hamilton could have been one of the greatest players of his time, he had tremendous power and just all around natural ability. I would absolutely love it if he could make it in the majors, but he's getting older and while he has been working out and trying to stay in shape (last I heard), I really think his time has passed. Doesn't he have a younger brother as well?Comment

I'd love to see him turn it around and make it to the bigs, but most likely he would only be a shadow of what he could have been. As stated before,now he needs to just become a productive member of society.Simply... TAKING BACK THE EAST IN 2007Comment
