He's not going to hit major league pitching worth a hoot and they just don't have roster space to keep his liability at the top of the lineup or even at the bottom. It's fine that he's a great fielder and is fast and all, but he has to get on base and he just doesn't do that often enough.  Nice that he hit A home run, but he needs to just put the ball in play instead of trying to knock the hell out of the ball..and SO WHAT that he ran around the bases so fast when he could have just barely trotted..
Bullpen is a joke and the starters aren't going to go 9 innings every day.
I'm losing my enthusiasm or maybe I just don't get to watch them often enough here in SC..

Agree, if Hamilton can't learn a shorter, easier, swing and keep the ball on the ground he's doomed. He has no chance to be a power/gap hitter. He has to learn to slash and stab, bunt, be patient and take walks. All that speed does no good walking back to the dugout after popping out while trying to drive the ball.
