I was a HUGE Hellickson fan for a long time. In fact, during Greinke trade proposals, he was my favorite primary pitching return (Jordan Zimmermann in Washington a close second).

I'm just terrified he's a white version of Jair Jurrjens.
Jair Jurrjens couldn't bring Hell-Boy's heat.

And at this point the Royals may just have to worry about Eric Hosmer being a white version of Ken Harvey.

Ha. Rep.

Serious possible comp for Hosmer, though: Casey Kotchman. Similar profiles (heck, they both were even hard-throwing HS pitchers). Kotchman's power never transferred to game.

The other end of the spectrum, I think, is Justin Morneau pre-injury. High average, good power, etc.

I swear to you...SWEAR to you, that I did not do this in advance.

Look at his #1 most comparable hitter.

No shit. If that doesn't worry you, nothing should.

Meh, Hosmer's 2011 was better than anything Harvey did. Hos was a ML regular at 21, Harvey at 25. Etc.

It just depends on which Hosmer you think is the true Hos: 2011 or 2012. It's distressing that he backslid so much his second year, but I'm less concerned than if 2012 were his rookie year. I still think he can bounce back and hit .300 with 25-30 homers.

I'd rather have him at 1B, Moose at 3B, Butler at DH, Gordon in LF and Myers in RF, but I also understand the price for quality, cost-controlled SP.

I just hope that DM chooses the right guy to trade, and trades him for the right guy. DM getting both ends right scares the shit out of me.
