Josh Hamilton

The New York crowd fell in love with Josh Hamilton tonight and for good reason. First of all, he put on a great home run hitting performance, hammering mammoth homer after mammoth homer. (I know, thanks to a flawed system, he didn't win; but he still hit more homers - and longer ones - than anyone there.)

But the other thing that should excite the Yankee faithful is the knowledge that, if Hamilton really is this good - and he is, the Rangers will gladly trade him to the Yankees AND pay his salary for them.
