Billy Hamilton has been the every day center fielder for the Cincinnati Reds since his call up to the Major Leagues in September of 2013. He was a second round draft pick in 2009, and the entirety of his professional baseball career has been spent within the Reds organization. Hamilton is best known for his lightning fast speed running the bases, league-leading stolen base numbers, and his unparalleled talent for crazy catches in the outfield.
After the news broke that Hamilton would not be offered arbitration, thus becoming a free agent, fans reacted quickly via social media and they all seem to fall firmly on one of two sides of this decision.
