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.

I agree with all this. Moose was picked so high because of his defense and ability to hit long ball.
Eric can hit to all fields now, Moose is just now learning to go the other way. That is the difference between a .270 hitter and a .290/ .300 hitter.
