[daneblazer]

Arbitrator ruled in his favor. Interesting

[Big Bear]

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.

He messed up, he's an addict, he came clean. He lives to fight another day.

He messed up, he's an addict, he came clean. He lives to fight another day.

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

He gets tested three times a week.

only drugs they care about are PED's

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.

Hamilton always one of my favorite players hopefully he will turn it around and have a solid season

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