Indians pick up speedy Hamilton
CLEVELAND — Billy Hamilton has joined the Indians’ cluttered outfield competition.
The free agent finalized his contract on Monday with Cleveland, which will give Hamilton a chance to win a roster spot during training camp in Arizona.
Hamilton, who spent last season with the Cubs and Mets, gives the Indians another option as they try to fix an outfield that hasn’t produced much in recent seasons. The 30-year-old Hamilton has 305 career steals over eight seasons.
