Josh Hamilton..

Has he learned to hit lefties or something? I notice he is hitting them well. Small sample size, but it was also a small sample size last season.

Josh Hamilton hits everything and anything thrown at him. I dont think hitting lefties will be a problem for a player with his kind of talent.

^^^^^ what he said

Well most lefties even great ones have trouble hitting against lefties. He was a rookie last year coming off a 4 year hiatus, never playing above AA in his life. Someone with that kind of talent will eventually adjust and learn.

Josh Hamilton perceives the ball right-handedly when going against a lefthander, and left-handedly while hitting against a rightie. It is known.

[freeling_prideful]

Seriously, though, he did suck pretty hard against lefties last year and I wouldn't expect him to suddenly become a leftie-killer. That being said, if he can drag up his average vs. lefties into the .260-.270 range, then I could see him getting up to .300 AVG/30 HR/100 RBI pretty easily.

I thought only McLouth had that problem.....


Anyways, the guy is a stud, I was really impressed with what I saw out of him this weekend. Good plate coverage and discipline. Hitting in the middle of that lineup, he's pretty much a lock to be a top 50 fantasy player if not top 30.

What would happen if Hamilton faced Hamels? It might be the end of civilization as we know it.
