ERIC HOSMER RUMORS & GOSSIP
Making a case for the young corners
“(He) should hit for power and average because he has a sweet left-handed swing, strength, exceptional strike zone discipline and the ability to make adjustments. He uses the entire field and can drive the ball where it’s pitched.”
That was a scouting report by Baseball America of a Royals’ player before he was drafted.
The sweet lefty swing would probably lead you to believe...
Royals 6, Orioles 2
Alex Gordon and Eric Hosmer homered in a four-run fourth inning, Jeremy Guthrie pitched effectively against his former team and the Kansas City Royals defeated the Baltimore Orioles 6-2 Thursday night to avoid a three-game sweep.
Gordon and Hosmer both connected against Freddy Garcia (0-1) with a runner on. It was Gordon's third home run in three games and Hosmer's first...

Hosmer starting to show signs of resurgence
KANSAS CITY, Mo. No one is proclaiming that Royals first baseman Eric Hosmer is "back."
But there certainly have been signs in the past week that Hosmer is resembling the prospect that everyone in baseball was raving about after his rookie season (.293, 19 homers, 78 RBIs) and not the flop he was last year (.232, 14 homers, 60 RBIs).
Hosmer's resurgence, if it truly...

Royals wont demote slumping Moose, Hosmer
KANSAS CITY, Mo. - Royals fans no doubt are delighting in the team's 10-7, first-place start to the season.
But if there is cause for concern anywhere it is the painfully slow starts from first baseman Eric Hosmer (.261, no homers, four RBIs) and Mike Moustakas (.158, no homers, one RBI).
There has even been suggestions on Kansas City sports-talk shows of the Royals shipping...

What’s Wrong with Hosmer and Moustakas?
by John Viril—
1B Eric Hosmer and 3B Mike Moustakas were supposed to be the shining stars of a Kansas City Royals renaissance built around prospects. They came to Kansas City as top picks in successive drafts (Hosmer #3 2008, Moustakas #2 2007) and rose quickly through the minor league system. By 2010, they headlined a class of prospects that many considered the best collection...
Royals Experiment with Hosmer in RF
by John Viril—
Today the Royals tinkered with 1B Eric Hosmer in right field. While many might dismiss this as an insignificant spring training experiment, I see it as a clue to the club’s thinking heading into the regular season. In short, the brain trust is more concerned than they are letting on about Jeff Francoeur repeating last season’s dismal performance.
Throughout his...
Bouncing Back: Eric Hosmer
Heading into 2012, Eric Hosmer looked like a rising star who would improve upon his strong 2011 numbers. By mid-season some owners were questioning whether he was even worth owning. So what should we expect for 2013? I’m thinking he can rebound to his former self and be a nice value in 2013.The post Bouncing Back: Eric Hosmer appeared first on Fantasy Baseball Blog at Razzball.com.

In a dismal sophomore year for Eric Hosmer, there was an encouraging statistic that jumps out. His power numbers took a big dip but he started to show patience at the plate and was able to increase...
Eric Hosmer: Fluke or Fraud?
In 2011, Eric Hosmer was third in the American League Rookie of the Year balloting. This season, Kansas City’s first baseman was second to none in terms of fantasy disappointment. The numbers were down everywhere.
His batting average dropped more than 60 points, from .293 to .232. Homers went down from 19 to 14 and his RBI dropped from 78 to 60. His slugging percentage took a deep...
PERFECT ROLL
Hosmer legs out a rare infield double
Kansas City Royals first baseman Eric Hosmer hit a rare infield double in the seventh inning of Saturday's game at Camden Yards against the Baltimore Orioles. Hosmer chopped a slow grounder down the third base line that looked like it might roll foul. Orioles catcher Matt Weiters, pitcher Darren O'Day and third baseman Wilson Betemit all chose to watch the ball roll down...
