[閒聊] Scioscia：Hamilton not the same guy

The Los Angeles Angels may finally be atop the AL West, but the team is still
waiting for slugger Josh Hamilton to join the party and manager Mike Scioscia
says his cleanup hitter is lacking in confidence and not the same man at the
plate that he was with the Texas Rangers.

"Josh is not the same as he was when we were looking in the other dugout in
Texas," Scioscia said prior to Saturday's 5-4 win over the Rangers. "Right now,
he's not in the batter's box with the confidence that we know he has. He's
working hard to try to find it."

A career .292 hitter, Hamilton is batting .266 with just eight home runs and
35 RBIs this season for Los Angeles. He hit a double in Saturday's victory,
but it was just his second extra-base hit in the past 10 games.

Part of Hamilton's current woes at the plate could be tied to the nearly two
months he spent on the disabled list this year with a torn ligament in his left
thumb. Prior to the injury, which occurred in early April, he had been batting
.444 with two homers.

Despite the lefty slugger's swoon, Scioscia said he's not inclined to move
Hamilton down in the lineup.

"You move guys around if the whole product becomes better," Scioscia said
Saturday. "If our whole lineup becomes better, you'd definitely consider it.
But Mike [Trout] and Albert [Pujols] connected -- even though Mike's maybe not
as hot as he was -- their dynamic is important. It works.

"Mike gets his pitches. And Albert gets his pitches, and that's what you're
looking for from the middle of your lineup."

The Angels (72-49) are percentage points better than division rival
Oakland (73-50) and hold sole possession of the AL West lead for the first time
since 2011, the season before Hamilton signed a five-year, $125 million
contract to head to Los Angeles.

個人簡評：
雖然今天賽後Angels靠著勝率些微領先站上分區第一，但最近10場比賽只有5-38的
Hamiltion更令人擔憂，雖然因為左手拇指傷勢休息兩個月，但8發HR加上35RBI的表現，
配上未來3年高達83M的薪水！！！雖然Scioscia說暫時不會調整棒次(好像也沒人可扛)，
但33歲的Hamiltion再這樣下去，很難想像到17年30M薪水的他會有什麼表現~
