Will Billy Hamilton be Drew Stubbs V2.0

Hamilton struck out 113 times in 132 games in 2012 in the minor leagues. That number isn’t quite as alarming as Stubb’s 166 strikeouts in 136 games in 2012, but if you consider that Hamilton is striking out that often against minor league pitching, it’s hard to see those numbers improving when he gets to the next level. If Hamilton kept those numbers consistent in the majors as a full-time player, he would end up second on the team in strikeouts per game (Jay Bruce would be the leader based on his averages).
