Alex - thanks for the post ... I'm a Josh Hamilton fan ... that AP story lead-in line is *classic*!

The Volquez-for-Hamilton trade is looking like the biggest something-for-something deal of young players in a long time!

ESPN's account of last night's game:

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) -- Josh Hamilton almost made a spectacular running catch to start the game. Other than that, he was perfect.

After his near-catch in the first inning, when he reached over his head in deep center to get the ball in his glove before it popped out when he tumbled to the ground, Hamilton went 5-for-5 with two long home runs. He also drove in five runs for the Texas Rangers in their wild 16-8 victory over the Houston Astros in the Lone Star Series opener Friday night.

Hamilton followed with a triple into the right-field corner off Wesley Wright (3-1) to make it 10-8 and increase his major league-leading RBI total to 49. Hamilton's five hits and five RBIs were both career highs, as were the 13 total bases that fell one short of Jose Canseco's franchise record set in 1994...

"It was a great night. That's why you play the game, right there," Hamilton said. "It doesn't happen all the time. When it does, it's like being a terrible golfer and making a hole-in-one or hitting a great shot."


Josh, you play golf?

Well, I undershot my original guess by a $1...went for $29 in my league.

I needed a power hitting OF at the time and had money to spend, but could not bring myself to go to $30.

Later on, I still needed to spend money and dropped $31 on Damon.

Ugh.

The inimitable Jeff Sullivan of the Mariner fan blog Lookout Landing speculates that Josh Hamilton could very well be "the best position player in the A.L. West."

Oh me, oh my.

Still on fire, going 3 for 3 today. Up to .577 this spring.

If he keeps this up, I can see him going for $25 - $28 in my league.
