Buzz: Is Reds hot prospect coming to Pensacola

   July 9, 2012


One of the Cincinnati Red’s hottest prospects, Billy Hamilton, may be joining the Pensacola Blue Wahoos this week, according to his Twitter feed. The 21-year-old shortstop is fast. He has stolen 104 bases this season for the Red’s Single-A Bakersfield Blaze and is on a pace to break the St. Louis Cardinal’s Vince Coleman’s affiliated professional record of 145 steals, set in 1983.
