and if he doesn’t we’ll have Wells (guh), Bourjos, Trout, and Trumbo. Does it make sense to make a large (and fairly risky given his injuries let alone his past) investment in a guy who plays a position for which we are already full?

Will the Wranglers get a bargain in 2012? Maybe. I come from the era when 14 million bought a lot of hitter. Enrico Fermi earned only 93 dollars while hitting .347 for the Cubs in 1942 AND laid the foundation for the Manhattan Project (do not look that up). I really don’t understand the media circus surrounding Hamilton’s brushes with insobriety, but I come from a state that just replaced the Terminator with the Moonbeam. That’s not a comment on their places in the partisan spectrum, just on the weirdness of the sunshine state…the poppy state…wait, what are we again? Golden! Anyway, we don’t have our underwear jammed up in our cracks quite so far.

The point is, if you’re underpaid, then maybe you can talk about how you don’t owe the man anything. Hamilton on the other hand is undeniably well-paid and for some reason, is treated like he’s one shot of Jack away from going on a nun-killing spree. Josh, that makes you look like a dick while giving the “I earned my 14 mil” speech. WEAVER-UP, man! Wait, you don’t play for us…don’t do that…steady as she goes…

We don’t need. We have plenty of guys to fill the outfield and I’d rather spend the money elsewhere… namely entending Haren and Aybar.

If he has problems keeping clean in Dallas, what’s gonna happen when he gets out here to SoCal? Do we really wanna see our shiny new outfielder motel hopping on Beach Blvd?
