Save for a pair of short stints in the second half with Triple-A Worcester, Hamilton was with the Red Sox all season. However, he didn't play as well-or as often-as he did the previous season. He trimmed his strikeout rate slightly, but he hit the ball with less authority. Hamilton lofts too much contact for a hitter with 95th-percentile sprint speed but only modest power. He managed to hit six homers in 194 plate appearances, but he would have been better off hitting the ball on the ground and letting his teammates drive him home. Hamilton's fantasy charm lies in his stolen bases, with 55 total over the last two seasons. However, his .285 OBP during that span highlights his need to refine his approach. The Red Sox infield is crowded, but Hamilton should be in the mix for a reserve role. Read Past Outlooks
