And to the butt pirates that neg repped me for bringing up the fact that Hosmer won't be here for much longer, let me explain WHY it's relevant. If Hosmer becomes a star, it won't be in a Royal uniform. Therefore, I couldn't care less whether he becomes a star or not. Carlos Beltran became a star, but I don't like talking about that either. Hoz will get 100 million from Steinbrenner, play his peak years, and few people will remember him being the kid that got a few clutch hits for that team in KC back in 2014.

Does pointing this out make me a douche? Absolutely. I am what I eat. I still feel that it's relevant though.

The sad truth about major league baseball is that if you lined 15 people up on the streets of Laramie, Wyoming (pick your town) and showed them a picture of Mike Trout in uniform, I bet you maybe 3-5 would know his name. And, he's easily the one of the most phenomenal players on the planet. Same for Bryce Harper.

Maybe David Ortiz or Yasiel Puig are stars? I don't know.

Well, genius, the question was BECOMING A STAR.

I think most people know what Harper looks like because of the "clown question" clip going viral. Clayton Kershaw will end up being the best starting pitcher of the 21st century, and even as goofy as he looks, I would venture to say that a lot of people couldn't point him out.

Don't be a buttcrack. Firstly, I'm not a genius. I try to provide a contrary insight at times, but I would hardly classify myself as a "genius" or "prodigy". I'm merely a smart guy who feels privileged to share his opinion with others.

Secondly, my point still stands. He had a star performance. That doesn't mean he's becoming a star. It means he had a star performance. If he duplicated that "star performance" for the next season or so, then the argument of him becoming a star would essentially be solidified. Unfortunately, averaging 16 homers a season, never reaching 80 RBI's, and being a career 275 hitter for a 1st baseman is not star-level. Current playoff consistency aside.

So you're a soothsayer?

I have no idea if Hos is becoming a star player.

I would say this a step in that direction.

4 years is a career?

No, I'm not a soothsayer. I have an opinion. I don't think he'll be a star. I think he's a good player though.

Good for you.

Probably so. Unfortunately, when this premise stands by itself, it collapses.

No, 4 years is not a career. It's a start though. Mike Trout's 4 years are star worthy. So are Clayton Kershaw's. So are Andrew McCutchen's. These are baseball stars.

Trout certainly has the power numbers.

He's also had the added benefit of a teammate we call Pooholes.

So what. He's still a much better baseball player than Hosmer. You can't argue that.

LOL Who is arguing that?

Hosmer's team has a 2-0 advantage right now, and Trout is wearing clown shoes.

Please

If Hosmer was 0 for 8, you guys would be hammering on him.

Trout has looked like ass, no matter how much you enjoy sucking him off.

It's eight ****ing at-bats. Why is that so hard for you to understand?

Would you like me to dredge up some 0-15s from Mickey Mantle or Hank Aaron? They aren't hard to find.
