Josh Hamilton has a new babysitter

Texas Rangers hire assistant to help support Josh Hamilton - ESPN Dallas

Question for all the parents out there: how old were your kids when you stopped hiring babysitters for them?

The guy has a problem and needs all the help he can get.

problem is, once he is not a MLB player no one is going to hire a baby sitter and he is going to turn to drugs and booze again......he will be dead 3 years after he is done playing.

Agree. The Rangers are doing this solely to protect their investment and because they need his production. The BS about caring for him as a human being will end as soon as he is done being a player.

I don't think the OP has any idea how tough addictions like that can be to overcome. Pretty shortsighted.

Don't start if you can't quit...

There is a difference in having a discussion where two people disagree and calling each other ******** and alkies.

Pay one guy $60,000-$120,000 to protect $15-20 million in production? Pretty good investment if you ask me, shoulda done it sooner and should probably be done more often.

Like slapping you senseless, I can imagine.

Dude has problems. Wish he could turn to control them. Addiction is a serious medical condition. Sad really.

Wow, you are pretty ignorant.

So naming calling isn't cool, but threatening violence is kosher? Hmm...

Looks like someone woke up in a judgemental mood this morning, huh?

Tell me, how's the view from up there on your high horse?

Be careful? Or what? You'll slap me silly?

I simply want to hear from parents out there who still hire babysitters for their 30 year-old children.

You appear to be very insensitive towards alcoholics and addicts. I get your beef with the babysitter issue, but you seem to be broadening your scope here.

You don't think that he doesn't wish he hadn't started in the first place? (Alot of negatives in that sentence, take some time to think it through...)
