Thor'sLinks: Boned again. One last time.

You probably didn't see this one coming, did you? Josh Hamilton's knee lasted all of one turn in the batting cage. And that is all that is needed to carry on the charade for one more season of free millions and millions of dollars. Meh, it is what it is. Contracts are contracts. It's a bad bit of business to take on that level of risk without some level of indemnification. The Angels are going to get hosed out of $26.14MM for Josh Hamilton to pretend for 8 months that he is rehabbing, and the Rangers get hosed out of $2MM and a roster spot for the same nothing.
