WOW!
Billy Hamilton has been non-tendered!
Didn't see that coming.
I guess that means that Senzel will be working out in CF in the Spring and before his eventual callup. Or at least working out in a corner OF spot anyhow.

Didn't completely shock me...was going to be a good chunk of change for a realistic 4th or 5th who can't hit a lick and should be a late inning replacement at best. Will probably either be Senzel in CF or a possible free agent run at AJ Pollock. Maybe you can get him on a 2-year deal until Taylor Trammell is ready to claim the position.

It's shocking to me because... this is the Reds we're talking about! They could fuck up a wet dream on a waterbed!
Other than that, hell yeah, he should've been sent packing way before now!
From what I'm reading, it looks like CF will be Ervin and Schebler's to hold down... or Siri makes the jump. Siri is on the 40-man now.

Hopefully they stay far away from pollock. Guy is always on the D.L. Hopefully by May it is Senzel in Cf. Providing Scooter is still playing for the Reds. I cant see Bob signing off of a Scooter trade after signing offon Billy. I wouldnt be shocked if they resign Billy to a cheaper deal.

I don't disagree with this move, even though I liked BH an awful lot. Having said that, if they hand the job to Ervin, then they will be worse off than having BH out there. Ervin is horrible defensively, and even worse in CF. He's one of the few players that due to his horrible defense, would be overall, worse than Hamilton. Schebler may hold it down until Senzel takes over, or, as you mentioned, Siri may take over too. That would take an outstanding spring though.

I hope Billy finds success somewhere, but I was beyond tired of waiting on him to figure it out. Didn't figure Bob would let this happen, and it's nice to see that maybe this is a step by the front office that gives me a bit of hope that they actually do want to see a change.
