Hamilton has a desire for greatness that drives him daily.
"I'm not OK with just being OK," said Hamilton, who was named co-winner of the Bank of America AL Player of the Week Award -- with Rangers righty Colby Lewis - for June 7-13.
He was great in 2008; his magical season when he stole the show at the Home Run Derby and finished at .304 with 32 home runs and a league-leading 130 RBIs. The magic eluded him though in 2009, when injuries piled up and he hit .268 with 10 home runs and 54 RBIs in just 89 games.
Now he strives to find himself in between the two extremes, with the hope of landing far closer to 2008 than last season. The Rangers want to know, too, because he is a free agent after the 2012 season and long-term contract discussions have been tabled while everybody waits to see where Hamilton lands on that scale.
