Anybody who is still questioning whether or not Billy Hamilton is a major league ball player needs to check their pulse

Hes the fastest player in the MLB and is a great defender just isnt a great hitter

He’s been much better in second half of year. Near night and day. He’s never going to be a extra base guy but if he can get on base at even that .320 clip he’s going to steal over 70 bases. Again though much better then that for some time.

Well if you can’t hit then your not a ball player technically, but Hamilton has been promising, he’s a classic Dee Gordon clone, let’s just hope Billy doesn’t do anything to get himself suspended

The way I count it out, the Dodgers are going to need their 4-5 starters only two more times. Hard to see where Anderson let alone Kazmir gets much opportunity, unless they split some starts or clinch early.

Really good point bud.

Well to be honest considering innings limit strip and Stewart seem to be all but done after sat. So those 2 starts there is going to be a Norris sighting and TBD once the division is clinched.

I haven’t heard of either Stripling or Stewart being being on innings limits though I could see how Stripling might well be.
Since this article was posted, Roberts announced that McCarthy had thrown a 90-pitch simulated game and was scheduled for another next week. Somewhere out there Wood is also lurking though probably not as a starting option at this point.
Roberts is going to be faced with some complicated roster decisions over the next two weeks. For one he has to decide who he carries as a 4th starter in the NLDS. My heart says De Leon but my brain tells me it’s more likely to be McCarthy, Anderson or Kazmir.

Well Strip was announced earlier in the year and today an article was mentioned Stewart’s. The problem is whether or not McCarthy will be built up enough for a start. DeLeon can possibly win the job but he needs to show his slider to be effective. He’s a two pitch pitcher right now with his fb/ ch so as of now it looks like a Bp possibility for the postseason.
It’s going to be interesting to see the postseason roster.

Indeed it will. Just another challenge for a rookie manager!

The ‘e’ and the ‘r’ are next to each other, and your fingers must have bumped the ‘r’..
He did manager to strike out 8.1 batters per nine innings, against 3.6 walks, but compiled only a 7.36 ERA over 47 2/3 frames in ten starts. It remains to be seen whether he’ll be able to earn a rotation spot out of camp for 2017.
