re: Nolan Ryan weighs in on Hamilton quitting tobacco

The Red Sox have plenty of freed up money to chase Hamilton but holy shite would a guy with his demons in that city on that team with that pressure be an absolute recipe for disaster. Wherever he goes it'd better be somewhere the local media is as relatively friendly and forgiving as the Dallas/Rangers beat writers were to him. If he thinks these big time organizations/markets are going to coddle him the way the Rangers took care of him, he's in for a seriously rude awakening.
