Well, here is Hamilton on a tear maybe better than 2008.  I posted a while back when he was hitting .204 with no homers.  Now hitting .320 with 16 dingers & 48 rbi's.  I still just don't know what I should expect.  Is he going to be a HOF performer and live up to the draft hype, like Griffey, A-Rod, Jones, etc.?  Is he a .300 hitter?  Sometimes seems yes, sometimes no way.  He has that prodigous power, but sometimes goes weeks without a homer.  When he connects, it reminds me why I love sports.  I was watching a couple of nights ago when he connected and just the sound of the connection made me gasp out loud.  I think I'm nuts when I start thinking about how good I think he might be, but I don't want to get my hopes up.  He truly has HOF talent, but can he stay healthy, can he find his swing and stay comfortable with it?  Can he stay clean?  I find myself pulling so hard for him I think I'm going to jinx it.  The scouts said he was Mickey Mantle.  Why couldn't he be?  It's still possible.
