The Cincinnati Reds may still move Billy Hamilton before the season starts. They just signed fellow speedster Ben Revere to a minor league deal just in case. If the Reds don’t move Hamilton, though, they missed the boat.
The San Francisco Giants have been linked to Hamilton all off-season. The Los Angeles Dodgers and Texas Rangers have also reportedly called on the defensive whiz. Unfortunately, the Reds want more than other teams are offering.
Now the Reds have four outfielders and just three spots to play them. Somehow through all of this Hamilton is still batting lead-off.
