What's that suppose to mean?
Hosmer kicked ass in the WS did you not see what he did there? The guy kicked ass to help Royals win a World Series they wouldn't have done it without him. Hosmer kicks ass and so does Kelce but Hosmer has a WS ring and Kelce needs to get a SB ring. |

Eric Hosmer is arguably the 4th best 1b in the AL Central, 5th best if you count Encarnacion. That's what I mean. Hosmer is a fine baseball player who's made a single All-Star game in a year where he put up a WAR of 1.0. In that World Series you claim he kicked ass in he managed an OPS below .500. I would say that Eric Hosmer is the modern day Mark Grace but that does Mark Grace a pretty massive disservice. He's the modern day Wally Joyner. That's a good baseball player but c'mon, the hype the guy gets is unreal.

So you'll ask the question and then plug your ears when someone answers it. You may save your pity, sir.

Now I compared him to Kelce because Kelce is becoming one of my favorite Chiefs so I'm wanting WS mojo to rub off onto the Chiefs and Kelce will make plays for us. Your like Lucy when Charlie Brown tries to kick a field goal and pulls the ball away. Just has to freaking ruin it. |

People responded to that by basically stating that Kelce is a Great player... Hosmer is a Hypemachine and you went nuts quoting world series rings, etc. I'm happy we won the World Series. In the same breath I'm not running out and saying Christian Colon is the same as Jamal Charles, pointing to Championships, then getting butthurt when someone disagrees. Understand, or do I need to slow down even further for you... to... follow.

Any time you can channel your inner Murray Chass you know you're on the right track.

I do get what you are saying but Fact #2 Kelce is quickly becoming another all time favorite Chief player of mine so I'm going have fun having fun making the two comparable. Hosmer is a solid first baseman and a clutch hitter and you can't deny it because he was clutch throughout the 2015 playoffs. So I'm all for the hype around Hosmer he earned it. Kelce is earning his hype and I want it to carry through the Super Bowl that's all I'm wishing. They both are cool players to root for. So I don't get why you guys have to shoot me down? Seriously it was fun for me to hype up them both for a freaking game and a good time to be both a Royal and a Chief fan. All I am is a fan I know what I like when I see it. I'm not a guru I don't pretend to be a baseball guru but I know a good baseball player when I see one and Hosmer is a damned good baseball player. So I don't see how he can be overhyped. He doesn't have to be better than the best first baseman but he is fun to watch as a Royal and he helps win ball games. The only reason I got butthurt is because I Hosmer is my favorite player that's not going to change anytime soon nor any argument why he shouldn't be isn't going to change my mind. |
