Hamilton extension on Rangers' checklist Reigning American League MVP enjoyed stellar 2010 season ARLINGTON -- For the third straight offseason, a long-term contract extension for outfielder Josh Hamilton will find its way onto the Rangers' list of things to do. The subject probably won't come up until January after the Rangers have addressed their offseason needs. But it will be a topic of discussion, as Hamilton approaches arbitration for the second straight winter. 一月之前游骑兵不会考虑延长合约是(总管要去超级市场买菜XDDDD) "It's something we've talked about internally," general manager Jon Daniels. "At some point I'm sure it will come up. He's eligible for arbitration, so we'll have to address his contract at some point." 总管说在某个时间点会讨论这件事~~ Hamilton has four full seasons of service time, meaning he can't become a free agent until after the 2013 season. But the Rangers would like to have him beyond that point. Hamilton, who turns 30 on May 21, is coming off his best season and was named the American League's Most Valuable Player on Tuesday. He led the American League with a .359 batting average and a .633 slugging percentage while hitting 32 home runs and driving in 100 runs despite missing most of September with two small fractures in his left ribcage. Hammy5月才刚满30岁，今天年是生涯年并当选美联最有价值球员~~~ Hamilton also had a big year in 2008, hitting .304 with 32 home runs and a league-leading 130 RBIs in his first season with the Rangers. That led to extended discussions in the offseason about a long-term contract that continued well into Spring Training. But the Rangers couldn't reach an agreement with Hamilton and his agent, Michael Moye. 08年游骑兵并没有办法和Hammy的经纪人达成合约(当时的老板是Hicks Sucks~~) Hamilton dropped off to .268 with 10 home runs and 54 RBIs in 2009 while playing in just 89 games, and that limited the discussions about a long-term contract last winter. So did the uncertainty of the Rangers ownership situation. Now the new ownership is in place, Hamilton is coming off a big season and the Rangers have more financial resources. It appears to be an appropriate moment to renew the discussions on a long-term deal. 换了新老板，Hammy生涯年，游骑兵队没有财务问题，是很好讨论延长合约事宜~~ "Obviously I want to be treated fair," Hamilton said. "That's what I've always said. It's going to be what it's going to be. I'm not going to sleep over it. I can live on what I get and still help a lot of people." Hamilton made $3.25 million in 2010 after being eligible for arbitration for the first time in his career. "That's why I have an agent," Hamilton said. "I stay out of it. I get paid to play, I don't get paid to think about getting paid. Whatever happens, happens." Hamilton has also been selected as the Rangers Player of the Year. He will be honored with that award at the Dr. Pepper Mid-Winter Banquet on Jan. 21 at the Gaylord Texan Resort and Convention Center in Grapevine. Hammy也当选游骑兵队年度最佳球员!!! Hamilton also won the award in 2008. 08年Hammy也拿下此赏~~ 资料来源:MLB官网 http://texas.rangers.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20101124&content_id= 16201008&vkey=news_tex&c_id=tex 心得:今年是不错的讨论合约时间，虽然Hammy是生涯年，且离成为自由球员还早，但是 一旦让Hammy成为FA的话要签回来很难(看看C.Lee的例子+洋基的Cash~~) 加上Hammy有伤病问题也是谈判时一大筹码~~希望Hammy的延长合约可以在18M/y以内~~ -- 2010 Texas Rangers Postseason Franchise Roster (SP)Cliff Lee (C)Benjie Molina (1B)Mitch Moreland (2B)Ian Kinsler (SS)Elvis Andrus (3B)Michael Young (LF)David Murphy (CF)Josh Hamilton (RF)Nelson Cruz (DH)Vladimir Guerrero (SP)C.J.
