Forgive me for having PTSD-induced flashbacks to Terrence Gore inexplicably swinging the bat during his 2018 Wild Card Game at-bat when I heard about the Chicago Cubs bringing back Billy Hamilton on a minor-league deal, but it's exactly where my mind went.
Hamilton, who turns 35 this month, hasn't appeared in a big-league game since 2023, spending the last two years playing in Mexico for the Charros de Jalisco. He seems to have something left in the tank speed-wise, piling up impressive stolen base totals even heading into his mid-30s.
In 132 games last season (which included winter ball), Hamilton swiped 80 bags and was caught only eight times, so you can see the appeal of having a guy like this on the depth chart.
