A torch passing at SS: Gregorius to Hamilton
Pensacola News Journal
The Cincinnati Reds want to elevate Billy Hamilton, their top-rated prospect, who has captivated professional baseball with more than 100 stolen bases this season, to the Double-A level in Pensacola.That move will likely coincide with Gregorius heading to Triple-A Louisville where he will be on the doorstep to joining the Reds when teams are permitted to expand the rosters in September.
