An arbitrator will decide whether Hamilton (shoulder) will enter into a treatment program after admitting to drug abuse, according to the Los Angeles Times. Hamilton is set to face a suspension of some length after admitting to a relapse, but the terms have yet to be set. A four-person panel was tasked to decide whether Hamilton would enter into a treatment program, but a deadlocked vote has necessitated the input of an arbitrator. The decision will be significant for the Angels, as Hamilton, who is scheduled to make $25 million this season, would get his full salary for the first 30 days of the program, and half his salary for the next month. The Angels are not required to pay him if he does not enter such a program. Jeff Fletcher of the Orange County Register reported that there isn't likely to be a decision regarding the suspension any time soon, which raises the question of how much time Hamilton will see on the field in 2015.
