Major League rosters will expand next month, but the Reds are not expected to promote Billy Hamilton.

Hamilton has 154 stolen bases between Class A Bakersfield and Double-A Pensacola. Cincinnati's 40-man roster is full, meaning they'd have to make a move in order to add him.

Walt Jocketty said "probably not" when asked about calling up Hamilton, but he admitted that a final decision had not been made.

Hamilton recently broke Vince Coleman's 29-year-old record for the most steals in a minor-league season (145).
