Hamilton is Still the Best Outfielder of 2010

Only two out of the top five outfielders from June 23 have returned this time around. The three newcomers to the list are all having their best seasons in their career. Will they remain on the top five list by the end of the season? Only time will tell.

1. Josh Hamilton, Texas Rangers: Hamilton is still the king of swing a month and a half later. Hamilton is still putting up sick numbers this season. Back on June 23, Hamilton was hitting .339 with 7 home runs and 53 RBI’s. Hamilton upped the ante even more! Hamilton is now hitting an insane .362, which is the best in baseball. To go along with his league leading average, Hamilton has 23 home runs and 75 RBI’s. After being injure for most of the 2009 season, Hamilton is making up for lost time this season. The Rangers are currently in first place, eight games ahead of the second place Athletics/Angels. This year belongs to the Rangers finally. The Rangers aren’t falling apart this season like in the past. Hamilton must stay healthy if they want to go to the World Series. If Hamilton continues on this pace, The Rangers should have no problem advancing to at least the ALCS.

Josh Hamilton Makes #1 of the Best Outfielders of 2010

There is an abundance of outfielders so far this season that are putting up huge numbers for their teams. Out of 20 hopefuls I narrowed the list down to five. Out of all the positions, outfielders are definitetly putting up the best stats this year.

1. Josh Hamilton, Texas Rangers: After being injured for most of the season last year, Hamilton is back in business this year topping the list of the best outfielders of 2010 so far. When I think of Josh Hamilton I think of raw power and memories of the 2008 home run derby at the old Yankee Stadium. When Hamilton is healthy, he is unstoppable. This year Hamilton has added a higher average to his offensive repertoire which may lead him to winning the Triple Crown. Hamilton is hitting .339 with 17 home runs and 53 RBI’s. As of now his average is good for fifth highest in baseball, his home runs are tied for fourth in all of baseball and his RBI’s are sixth best in all of baseball. Hamilton is one of the main reasons why the Rangers are having one of their best seasons in a long time. The Rangers are currently in first place in their division and are tied for the second best record in all of baseball. I would be surprised if the Rangers vanquish their lead. The Angels are the only team that can threaten the Rangers, but when you put both teams side-by-side, the Rangers have a better all around team.

Hamilton gearing up for return

Josh Hamilton could find out on Tuesday how soon he will be ready to return to the Rangers lineup. It could be a big day for him.

Hamilton, who has been sidelined since Sept. 2 with a pinched nerve in his lower back, resumed workouts on Monday after backing off for four days. He took some swings off a tee and off soft-toss pitching in the batting cage, and did some running in the outfield.

All went well. He will try to increase his baseball activities on Tuesday to include on-field batting practice against live pitching.
