Billy Hamilton Primed To Perform
6 years agoKansas City Royals speedster Billy Hamilton may be one of the few hitters who will benefit from playing in a bigger park. Hamilton's lack of pop is well-known at this point, so he was never able to take full advantage of Cincinnati's tiny stadium. Moving to KC, Hamilton figures to get more opportunities to turn less impressive drives into extra bases, thanks to the larger area opposing outfielders have to cover. With almost no power behind him in the lineup and a dependable contact hitter (Whit Merrifield) following him, expect Hamilton to be turned loose on the basepaths this year. KC will probably be lacking in pop, but they should be exciting to watch.
