Dear Mr. El Natural


Josh: Nice work. (Please don't revert to the mean.)

-- Owners of Vitamin D-elighted we got you in the 17th (!) Round as pick #169 (after recent unlamented dropees, Chad Cordero, Jeremy Bonderman, Carlos Delgado, Travis Hafner, Rickie Weeks, Chris (the tall one) Young, Manny Corpus, George Posada, etc ... sheesh, what a horrible draft!)

------------------------------------
Jun 3 The Associated Press reports Texas Rangers OF Josh Hamilton homered in his third straight game Monday, June 2. He leads the majors with 65 RBIs and leads the American League with 16 homers.

Jun 2 Hamilton, who has made an inspiring comeback from drug and alcohol abuse, was chosen as the American League player of the month for May on Monday. Hamilton became the first American League player to win the monthly award in April and May the same season.

Advice: Hamilton went into a Monday night game against Cleveland hitting .328 with a major league-best 63 RBIs, 13 more than the next-closest player. He led the AL with 15 homers, 77 hits and 25 multihit games. Hamilton had eight homers and 29 RBIs in May, when the Rangers won 19 games for their winningest month since June 1983. [This is "advice?" How about, "We advise you to never bench this guy (or let him get near a pharmacy)?"]
