No one mentioned this re: Billy Hamilton

Looks like he got killed by a wall yesterday.


May never steal again.

 

[Jaypers]

He came out and celebrated with his teammates after they won, so he must have come back from the dead.

Back spasms.

 

[Bob Loblaw]

Aware of that. Most back injuries manifest themselves the day after injury.

Not at all. couldn't care less. Just an FYI for those with big investments.

If he's hurt he has plenty of time to recover.


It's not like he has much meaningful baseball left to play this time of year.

 

[Pine Tar]

Yesssssss! time to buy!!!!!!!!

 

[ThoseBackPages]

still can't steal first base, right?

 

[sportscardtheory]

Hamilton has a .406 on-base percentage in the highest level of minor league baseball he has played thus far. Why on earth are people acting as though he can't get on base. Clearly his OBP will most likely lessen when he reaches AAA and the Majors, but until he actually shows that he can't get on base consistently at the top two levels of baseball, a .400+ OBP is fantastic.

will his stone glove ruin his "WAR"?

at 22 years of age, he shouldnt be in AA

Yup, he should be a senior in college.

Billy Hamilton is OK after banging into the wall in center field trying to make a catch in the Arizona Fall League Championship game yesterday.
“He’s fine. He has a little bruising nothing serious," assistant director of player development Jeff Graupe said.
Hamilton left the game after the play. Hamilton went 2-for-5 with a triple as his Peoria team won the title with a 4-3 win over Salt River.

I just read on Twitter that Hamilton retired due to his injuries sustained in yesterday's incident.
