"The fans love him.

I love him.

But that love might be a one-way street, at least based on Josh Hamilton's repeated priorities when asked about continued employment as a baseball businessman in Arlington.

There will be NO hometown discount, Josh has consistently informed us.

His loyalty is first and foremost to the players' union; therefore you get all you can get to help those coming behind you, as those ahead of him have done for Josh.

All Hamilton asks is to be treated "fairly" when it comes to a long-term contract offer from the Rangers.

(On a personal note: Have you ever noticed that your idea of "fair" compensation seems to always differ from management's estimation of what your value is worth? In Josh's case, does this disagreement make management "unfair"?)"
