Josh Hamilton (sports hernia surgery) said Monday that he expects to be on schedule for the start of spring training in February. Hamilton underwent surgery in November to repair a sports hernia, but said Monday that everything feels good while running, swinging the bat and throwing. He's also been squatting weight and doing agility exercises. The 30-year-old is set to earn $13.75 million in 2012 before hitting free agency. He has expressed interest in a contract extension, but plans to cut off talks with the Rangers if no progress is made by spring training.
