Odds-on favorite to sign Hamilton

08:11 AM ET 05.15 | Where Josh Hamilton's sarlary goes from here is open to debate, as is just who might be willing to pay for his services, based on likelihood. Los Angeles Dodgers, 5/1: Magic. Money. Kemp. Hamilton. Together. Sweet. Texas Rangers, 5/4: He's theirs to lose -- or, if you prefer another perspective, they're his to lose. The Rangers and Hamilton fit well, sort of like the Cardinals and Albert Pujols did. And, like the Pujols negotiations, this will come down to just how much Hamilton can separate business and emotion. Pujols was insulted by St. Louis' offer. If the same happens with Hamilton, affinity can turn into spite, love into resentment, happiness into animus. And odds-on-favorite status into also-ran.

Not sure who is going to give him a ridiculous amount of money with his past injuries and demons. I mean would anyone feel comfortable with giving him more than 4 years at the most? Maybe 5?

It is fortunate for the Cardinals that Pujols was insulted. Angels fans should be insulted by the Pujols they have witnessed. I think it is fairly clear Pujols was juicing, no other explanation seems sufficient to describe his fall off in hitting.
The next nine figure contract that turns out to be a good deal for the team signing it will be the first.
