Hamilton is getting worse every year instead of better.  If he had the same "at bats per stolen base" this year as in '16 he would have stolen 71 instead of just 34.

His defense is amazing and saves a lot of runs, but not enough to make up for his low offensive production this year.

Not to say I told you so, but...

He is murder for a lineup and not in a good way; as I mentioned a couple of years ago, SBs and defense is all well and good, but not getting on base is why he just isn't good enough to be an everyday player.

He could be the next Ced Landrum, but not a full-time starter.
