    Finally, Josh Hamilton gets a hit

    Started the season 0 for 9, and finally gets a knock for 2 RBI's


    He's my second rounder, so I'm hoping he can get going

    guys is starting out slow. Hopefully that is a sign that he will tear it up later when you really need it.

    ALot of players start off that way. Realize also that you are playing against the best 2 pitchers for the other team

    pitchers are always in good shape and fitness early in the season. they wear down game after game and the good hitters start figuring them out. i wouldnt worry about hamilton's slow start.

    He is off to quite a disappointing start. I have him as well, but at some point he will start to hit.

    It's going to be bad in a few years when they're paying big bucks for him to hit 250

    My team hit .210 this week with Hamilton included. Thankfully he had a big night so I could at least make that push over .200

    Hamilton is a world-class drama queen. Angels will be sick of his shit by June.

    I'm going to go out on a limb and predict Hamilton will hit better than .160 by the end of the season.

    They say it looks like he lost 30 lbs in off season, any truth to that?
