As one of the longest tenured members of the DAT, I vote we turn all of our hate/laughs towards the Texas Rangers.
Whats the Rangers fans opinion of Hamilton coming back? I haven't heard too much about it, honestly. Remember when he left, he more or less mentioned how they are bandwagon fans who only supported the Rangers once they became succesful and that the Dallas area only supports the Cowboys unconditionally. I remember the local Dallas media & fans running with it and bashing Hamilton pretty bad for saying that.
Edit:
Here was Hamilton's quote:
quote:
It’s one of those things where Texas, especially Dallas, has always been a football town. So the good with the bad is they’re supportive, but they also got a little spoiled, at the same time, pretty quickly. You can understand like a really true, true baseball town — and there are true baseball fans in Texas — but it’s not a true baseball town.
Not nearly as bad as I remember it. But I definitely remember the Rangers fans going ape shite over it. Is all forgiven now?

I'd have mixed feelings. On one hand, it's low risk and Hamilton is back where he succeeded. On the other, he bashed the fans, didn't seem to hold himself accountable during this latest incident (said Angels owner knew what he was getting, never apologized to team, fans, etc.), and carries a media circus. Not to mention, he'll be 34 this month, is injury prone and has already played his best ball.

It's a very low risk move for the Rangers. Given how awful the outfield is batting, he will almost certainly be an upgrade.

Only if he's successful.
