I don't think Mike Moustakas ever hits .300 in a full season. Hell, I'd be satisfied with .280.
I do think he can be a .270/30 HR guy, though. Which would probably lead to him getting a lot of walks as well.
I'd be perfectly satisfied if he could hit .250 with 25 bombs and play consistently very good defense. That's a very reliable player and plus player at 3B.
Hosmer CAN be a .300/30 guy. Just a matter of him finding an approach that works and sticking with it. It honestly wouldn't surprise me at all to see Hosmer beast throughout the playoffs, only to come out of ST struggling again next year after spending the offseason "working in the cage" with his brother.
