He has the third highest slugging percentage (.549) and sixth best batting average in club history among players with at least 300 games while producing three seasons each of 30+ homers and 100+ RBI.

He was elected to start in the All-Star Game in all five seasons as a Ranger and won A.L. Silver Slugger Awards in 2008, 2010, and 2012. Overall, Hamilton has a .292 (1091-3739) average with 192 homers and 676 RBI in 977 major league games with the Reds (2007), Rangers (2008-12), and Angels (2013-14).
