Reds Deal OF Josh Hamilton


Josh Hamilton, the former Tampa Bay Ray and Rule 5 Draft pick, was traded earlier today to the Texas Rangers. The Reds acquired RHP Edinson Volquez and LHP Danny Herrera. Last season with the Cincinnati Reds, Josh Hamilton hit .292 with 19 home runs and 47 RBIs in 90 games. Hamilton was once touted as one of the best prospects in the game when he was drafted by the Rays. He lost that title when he struggled with alcohol and drug addiction and was out of baseball for a few years, until last year when he was selected in the Rule 5 Draft.

Josh Hamilton should be a productive player in the middle of the Rangers lineup for as long as he is there. Look for him to hit more homers in Arlington. I'll make a prediction right now...

Josh Hamilton in 2008 will hit: 287 with 34 home runs and 96 RBI...

Any thoughts?
