Baseball is stupid. I have no other response than that, it's super easy to be a 1B. Almost anybody can do it that is tall. Alot of guys can't possibly play in the OF due to their tools and skills.
I think we are now seeing a shift of paying 1B less though. The trend will continue, I suspect.
What I'm saying is if Hosmer was versatile, and could play 1B and both the OF. He would be of more value. There is just no reason he shouldn't be able to do it.
