Am I the only one with little faith in Hamilton as a 1st?

Postby angels7777 » Sun Mar 15, 2009 11:41 am

Hamilton seems to be a bit injury prone plus he really has had one huge season. I am trying to avoid him with my first pick if at all possible, but people around here seem to be really high on him. Am i justified in my concerns or are people taking him with no worries in H2H?

I wouldn't really label Hamilton as injury prone yet. This guy was a great prospect, but he had some serious drug issues. He is the real deal. I don't know if I would take him in the 1st. 2nd round sounds about right to me. I list him as about the 3rd-5th overall OF.

You're not the only one. Texas has lost Milton Bradley so that will affect his Run and RBI totals. I'd rather have Beltran, Soriano, and Upton because they help in stolen bases, even though Hamilton may be the best hitter of the three. Hamilton is a 2nd round pick in a 12 teamer. Maybe in H2H bump him to the end of the first, but not in roto.

I love the guy. Guys on Texas say only Pujols and Arod have more talent. He's barely behind Braun, and i like him over Tex. He's in top 12 easy for me.
