The first and probably less relevant one: workers' compensation. An accountability coach's status as a co-employee has at least two unusual effects. Hamilton's particular situation is his own, but I wonder if Hamilton's decision to scale the role back had anything to do with how the accountability coach got paid. Instead, the intent was for Hamilton to fill in the gap for road games with one of two personal acquaintances, with less of a day-to-day need for someone in that role back in Anaheim. Kelley parted ways with Hamilton and the Angels last year, and according to Alden Gonzalez, Hamilton decided to "limit the role" (not sure whether or not the decision precipitated Kelley's departure). Shayne Kelley soon took over for Hamilton's final season in Texas, later getting hired by the Angels after Hamilton signed his current deal. When Narron left to be the Brewers hitting coach, Hamilton's father-in-law was briefly employed by the Rangers to serve in the same role. Jerry Narron served as an accountability coach for Hamilton while he was with the Reds and for a time with the Rangers - and from what I can gather, Narron was a team employee during both of those stints.

It does seem to me, however, that if Hamilton were to have a full time accountability coach again - he "downsized" that role a year ago - he'd be a lot better off if the coach worked not for his team, but for him personally. I don't mean to offer legal advice of any kind, and do not read anything on this page that way. In a way, Hamilton's affirmative act to get ahead of this shows that he can hold himself accountable - in another, the problem itself justifies past hirings of an accountability coach for him. Josh Hamilton has reportedly suffered a relapse in his fight against addiction, meeting with MLB officials in New York after informing them of the problem.
