“coloradogolfcoupons” What kind of stupid handle is that? Why so much hate for Young a standup guy, and 7 time All Star? You are obviously one those clueless fans who thinks they know the game. Maybe your upset that every deal your team has tried has gone sour or you have lost out to multiple free agents. As far as Halmilton his stats were awesome for a guy who checked out for 4 months.

It’s Philly. Barbaric yawps across rooftops come with the territory.

And yes, I know that’s Whitman, but he’s got the Camden connection and Eliot’s from @#$#@ing St. Louis.

It will pain you greatly, but my mind went first to Walking in a Winter Wonderland…and then to The Cure. Sorry.

610 is bad. stopped listening a few years back

It will either be the phillies or yankees. No way MLB let’s him go to seattle to hit <30 hr's in that monstrosity of a park.

Does anyone else physically get sick when listening to gargano on 610 or is it just me. he used to be one of my favorites and now he is trying to go national and kissing everyones butt on the air. just saw his name up there and had to comment.

Did I just see a T. S. Eliot reference on a baseball blog? Proefrock/Prufrock–dang, I love this site.

As a fan of the Rangers from game 1 40 years ago, who has watched every game Hamilton has played, the fact is the Rangers don’t want a guy this talented…should tell you all you need to know, coming from a team that signed Steve Howe after his 6th Coke rehab and signed numerous players with troubled pasts. We got rid of our worst player to you, and I doubt he will still be on your team come July. Young will be booed by your fans after hitting 200 weak grounders to short, hitting into 10 double plays his first month, and butchering 3rd base so bad that you give Ray Charles a tryout. Hamilton is wanted even LESS than Young. He will live in his own little fantasy world talking to God, and himself, and lose interest in baseball like he did for the last 4 months of the season last year, looking more like Dr. Ruth at the plate than Babe Ruth.

Craig, just stop thinking about how he’s going to light up your Atlanta Braves and start being realistic! He’s not going to Seattle and not returning to Texas. He will be a Phillie.

Is the Feelies’ assistant GM really named….Proefrock????

Let us go then you and I
Where the stat freaks are prognosticating on the fly
Like a season euthanized upon a schedule….

Seems to be all assumption from everyone at this point. Rangers haven’t really seemed that hot for Hamilton…and the Phillies offer was reported by Gargano to be three years around 80 million…not exactly making them a darkhorse either. Still, probably ends up right back in Texas since Upton is going to be stuck with is best buddy Gibson for at least another year.
