I would send Moustakas down until he learns how to hit the ball to the opposite field and start taking shorter swings. His problem is the opposite of Hosmer's.
As for Hosmer, Brett explained it pretty well this morning on .610. He's hitting EVERYTHING up the middle and opposite field. Teams started keying on this last year and positioned themselves defensively up the middle. That's why it seemed like Hosmer was really unlucky. He needs to learn how to trust his eyes and start turning on those inside pitches.
I'm not sending Hosmer down. He's still squaring it up for the most part, he just has a lot of trouble with inside pitches and will continue to until he starts recognizing what to do with them.
