    Hamilton won't be suspended by MLB

    Arbitrator ruled in his favor. Interesting

    I think Matt Joyce is better right now...

    who would you rather have in Left Field? Joyce or Hamilton?

    Great decision.

    Addiction is a disease.

    Punishing somebody for admitting their mistake sets a bad precedent.

    I'm not sure if he gets credit for coming clean.

    He gets tested three times a week.

    cocaine and marijuana is not against MLB rules.

    only drugs they care about are PED's

    for some reason adderall is considered a PED

    Hamilton knew he'd pop positive with his upcoming test.

    Admitting he would fail slipped him through a loophole and saved him a suspension.

    It's good to have a strong players union and agent.

    I'm rooting for the kid, but this is starting to bring back memories of Steve Howe.
