I would put him up with Braun, Holliday and Hamilton. Each of those three has better offensive production (although Gordon's second half is arguably similar: OPS of .871 and 45 RBI in 77 games), but none have anywhere near the defensive value Gordon does.

I'd say Hosmer's potential at the plate is better even than Gordon's; I think that we can expect him to eventually produce at a level above what he did his rookie year, as his skills grow and he develops as a Major League hitter. If he can reduce some of the errors he was responsible for this season, he could also be one of the better defensive 1B in the game. Unless he fails to develop in either or both of these areas, I don't think it's a stretch to expect him to be one of the better 1B in the league over the course of his career.
hes great definsively. I just meant a true "Superstar" like a 35-40 HR guy who can drive in 120+ runs. When will the Royals get one of those guys?

One of the best plays Matt has ever made.
