The Chicago White Sox made a bevy of moves on Tuesday, including selecting the contract of major-league journeyman speedster Billy Hamilton from Triple-A Charlotte.The White Sox are Hamilton's eighth MLB team in a 10-year career. He played in 37 games with the Minnesota Twins and Miami Marlins last season, batting just .050 with one lonely single across 20 at-bats between the teams.Daryl Van Schouwen@CST_soxvanSource: Billy Hamilton joining White Sox today chicago.suntimes.com/white-sox/2023…48750Source: Billy Hamilton joining White Sox today chicago.suntimes.com/white-sox/2023…Chicago White Sox fans likely should not expect much better from Billy Hamilton in his turns at the plate in 2023.

In 2021, he played 71 games with the White Sox, batting just .220 with nine steals in 127 at-bats.Shawna Patrick@ShawnaP79@CST_soxvan That should put us over the top!6@CST_soxvan That should put us over the top!Ryan@tdstryansuarez@CST_soxvan Undefeated the rest of the way..mark it1@CST_soxvan Undefeated the rest of the way..mark itDave White@dawhite_0311@ShawnaP79 @CST_soxvan Nothing says contender like adding a .188 hitter!@ShawnaP79 @CST_soxvan Nothing says contender like adding a .188 hitter!Billy Hamilton was drafted by the Cincinnati Reds in the second round of the 2009 MLB draft. He quickly established himself as one of the fastest players in the league upon making his big-league debut in 2013, stealing 13 bases in just 13 games during his first go-around as a major leaguer, whetting appetites with a .368 batting average.However, his average kept dipping as he collected four consecutive seasons of stolen base totals in the high 50s.Hamilton played for the Reds for six seasons, earning a reputation as one of the best base stealers in the league. He led the National League in stolen bases from 2014 to 2017 and set a Reds franchise record with 277 stolen bases during his time in Cincinnati.But by 2018, with his average dipping to just .236, Hamilton had become expendable. He has been passed around the league due to his speed but has never stayed in one spot too long as he simply can't get on base enough to make himself that useful to an offense.MLB Deadline News@MLBDeadlineNews@CST_soxvan Death.
