Hamilton signed a minor-league contract with the Rays on Wednesday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Scouting Report
Has ridiculously good speed and supreme quickness down the line to first base. Is an elite base-stealer who puts a ton of pressure on defenses. He is also becoming a more patient hitter at the dish, which can only help him. Struggles to hit for average with consistency, which limits his base-stealing impact. Also, he lacks power (mainly because of his slight frame). Nagging injuries can be a problem too, and take away some of his aggressiveness.
Long Range Potential: Ultra-speedy, inconsistent outfielder.
