ESPN.com News Services - 13 May 2003 (http://espn.go.com/mlb/news/2003/0513/1553031.html)
Tampa Bay Devil Rays prospect Josh Hamilton, who has gone from top pick to top bust, has been granted a personal leave for the rest of the season, the team announced Tuesday.
Hamilton, who has been playing at Class AA Orlando of the Southern League, was granted the leave just 10 days after he returned from a mysterious six-week absence.
The Devil Rays did not give a reason for Hamilton's latest departure, saying only, "The purpose of the leave is to provide Josh an opportunity to address certain private, non-baseball matters."
Linda Hamilton, Josh's mother, told the St. Petersburg Times that her son is "just taking some personal time, like everyone else. He's fine. It's just some personal time."
He has yet to play this season.
