I very highly doubt Hamilton will get any kind of long term deal from any team. He's a great player but too high maintenance. That's something he's done to himself and I don't think any agent can fix it for him. The most I could see him getting is a 3 year deal at the most.

I think he lands in Philly

I think the Yanks are going to have their version of a rebuilding year. They might try and keep Ichiro, but i think swisher is gone. Going to try and cut some of the extra fat off. Unfortunately the "fattest" is arod and i don't think hes going anywhere. Hamilton and Arod together? doesn't sound like it would mix well...
I'd rather get rid of A-Rod and keep Swisher.
I collect Dirk Hayhurst. Thank you jbel4331 for the banner!

Either by trade or by Free Agency I think a really big name is coming to Philly. Maybe not Hamilton but if the Yankees eat most of the contract I wouldn't be shocked to see Arod end up here to be honest. I think Amaro has an itchy trigger finger and will be looking to make a statement this offseason.
