Josh Hamilton likely to go elsewhere in '13

The Rangers are only offering him a 3-year deal. It's extremely likely he will get a longer contract than that on the market.

I got 5-1 odds that the Tigers will offer him a ridiculous contract.

Good lord, I hope the Tigers don't. If they sign him, that'll make that lineup of theirs even scarier. With Martinez coming back that already looks to be a murder's row, yowza.

Not that Hamilton wouldn't help their lineup, but their team is heavily dependent on left-handed power (Howard, Utley), perhaps too much so for their own good. I'm not sure adding Hamilton makes sense, even though he'd fare well in CBP.

I could see the Orioles making a run. It would be a good move for them IMO.

I think they would be a great fit. But they need pitching even more.

How I would LOVE to have Josh Hamilton on the Sox!

He won't last. Too injury prone . Seems like if he has a hangnail or headache he's out for 2 weeks. I hate players like that.
