    Even at his “best” lane Adams is not a good defensive CF. I prefer a two dimensional player to a one dimensional player

    I meant Ortego could cover CF and Adams could run. But I agree Hamilton is superior to either.

    AA has a track record of going for strong defense, so even when you have a good back-up defensively in Ortego in CF and good speed off the bench in Adams. If you can do even better at both in one player that makes sense to do, esp. with the Ender injury. Plus if Ortego stops hitting now we can just DFA him and not worrying about losing a good back-up for CF.

    I knew what you meant and you are right. But Hamilton does both better and gives you that in one player instead of two. Not that Adams is bad in CF or that Ortego cannot steal a base. Both are okay options there too, but not plus plus options.

    If Snit needs to find the solution path to any adaptive dynamic programming problems this post-season, the Hamiltonian should be useful.

    Well, to be accurate it's the tag-team of Ortega and Adams vs Hamilton. Adams was counted out already so Hamilton won. But Ortega is hoping his bat keeps him around as they no longer need him to back-up CF.

    As long as we don't play a team with someone named Burr, picking up Hamilton is a good move.

    And this is why I didn't like the move. Because Snit is an idiot, and it is not an idiot-proof move.

    No issues with this signing. No risk and probably not much reward, but there is a benefit that can be had. Go get em, Billy!

    Snitker should start Hamilton for the first couple games, that way he can bat .700 with a HR and then we can return to Joyce/Duvall.
