Dont think it could have been better said, PB5. So, people that say Hamilton was the one with the most market value of the OF's, how could they be happy with receiving a middle of the pack "prospect" (24 yrs old, 3-11 & 7+ ERA at highest level) for a possible future All-star caliber player that HAS proven himself in his first real shot at doing so? Will we be able to eat some crow about this one in a few years? Possible, of course. Probable, no. And thats IF the Reds even stick with Volquez long enuff to have a chance at justifying this trade. I will guess that he will be given part of one season in the rotation, then dissapear either into the minors or dealt to another team. Dont the Reds have a knack for this with young pitching?
Nice mention of the comparison to Mantle, also, PB5. One of Hamilton's nicknames is "The Natural"
Hamilton is always mentioned now in discussions of the All-Time greatest Rule 5 Draft pick-ups. Make a great move in picking him up for cash only, then blowing a "once-in-a-million" flash of greatness by the Reds organization by pulling anothe bonehead...IMO.
