Much has been written the last few days on Josh Hamilton. And I understand that. He needs to have a solid September as this team attempt to push toward the playoffs.
But I think Ian Kinsler (seen here to the right in this FWST photo) is the real key now that Michael Young is out....

I've said that Ian Kinsler got hosed, and I've also said that I don't think Kevin Millwood not making the team is that huge of a snub.
