is it wrong that I'm starting to get a Mark Teahen vibe from Hosmer? Maybe everyone was wrong and hes basically just a slap hitter with average power?

I'm fine with this. I would have put Gordon #1 or #2, but it is more important to me that we have Gordon, Escobar, AND Cain at the top, in some order.

At least with Moose we always knew he had power, he wasn't great in 2012 but still slugged over .400 unlike Hosmer. Then this year the Royals identified a specific problem, followed by Moose rocking and rolling after working on said problem.

Whenever the Royals claim to have identified a problem, I cannot help but roll my eyes.

Its not like the Royals engaged in revisionist history, they called their shot, a lot of people said "yeah right" or "we'll see" and boom, Moose goes off. Moose struggled for quite a while, so it'd be a hell of a coincidence.

Travis Lee is also a valid comparison if Hosmer's power never comes back.

If we are bumping Gordon out of the leadoff spot, he must be used to protect Billy, IMO.
Putting Butler/Gordon/Cain makes it much more difficult to pitch around either of our key bats. However, Esky in the leadoff spot is not a good call. He doesn't see enough pitches and only gets on base via hits. |
