How Good is Josh Hamilton?
May/071
I found these stats in The Cincinnati Enquirer. Take a look at where Reds outfielder Josh Hamilton stands a little more than a month into his major league career:
• He was the National League Rookie of the Month in April after leading all MLB rookies in home runs (6), extra-base hits (10), on-base percentage (.365), slugging percentage (.609) and tying for the lead in RBI (13).
• In the three-game series with the Rockies this past weekend, he hit .462 (6-for-13) with one double, one triple, two home runs and three RBI. He scored six runs, walked once, stole a base and had two outstanding catches in center field.
• For the season, he's hitting .306 with eight homers, five doubles, one triple and 17 RBI. His on-base percentage is .398. He has not committed an error in 24 games.

There is no question, the dude can flat out play baseball. I hope his success continues and that Cincy will keep him. If he is this good I hate to see him traded, even for good pitching! Wow! I love watching him play, you just never know what is going to happen when the guy catches a ball or he is at the plate. Wish I could've seen the throw down to 3rd last night.
