The San Francisco Giants, who hit three home runs last year, are interested in Billy Hamilton, who hit negative-three home runs last year. While I love symmetry as much as the next person, I’m skeptical of this strategy. This seems like a great way to make a bad lineup worse. But we’ll talk it out, together.
The rumor du jour comes from Ken Rosenthal, who writes that the Giants “remain strongest on Hamilton,” and it was confirmed by the Cincinnati Enquirer, who describes the talks as “serious.” Hamilton fits in a lot of ways.
