If you think he's your 3 hitter, stick him in the 3 spot and let it happen.
With Butler behind him and a strong leadoff hitter in front of him, it might be where he's best suited for success.
Frenchy has been flat-out awful again. I was figuring he'd probably be replacement level again this year, but it doesn't look promising.
Maybe he should throw Kevin Seitzer and Billy Butler under the bus again. That will get him back on track...

Hosmer is now at 6, and Yost gave a bullshit, convoluted justification for the move. And now the problem will be when Butler hits into a few DPs early in the year, which will definitely happen since he hits so many balls hard, Yost will hyper-react and want to move him back to the 4 spot.
If Hosmer doesn't step forward, I have a hard time seeing this team get to where it wants/needs to go.
