Well, when you're 19 and playing AAA you are way young for your age. Had George stayed another year or two he'd have prob hit 375. At 22 he batted .308 in the bigs, and at 23 he won the batting title at .333. (The avg age today of a AAA player is 26 and avg age of MLB debut for those who even make it is is 24) |

The Giants are going to have to rebuild in a few years, though, and I think the Padres are set up to surpass the Rockies and even the Dbacks soon. Arizona has a few more years with its core before it will have to rebuild, too, unless they find a way to spend huge on Goldschmidt. The Dodgers are always going to be a force. But if Gore and Baez hit like they can, that's a potent duo dominant enough to make the Padres competitive with anyone.

Gore has a few years of development before he is even ready. What is he, 19? |

I'm not sure he's even 19 yet. He's a 2020/2021 arrival. But incredibly talented.

Yup. Don’t harness yourself to a guy with a 7 year contract in Hosmer. Not sure market on Moose but I bet he’d get a 3 year offer at best from KC as his market has been quiet.

This seems like the perfect situation for the Royals to do some bargain shopping to stay competitive while buying more time to build up the farm system.

Would MUCH rather have Moose on a short term contract than Hos on a 7 year contract. My head is literally exploding trying to understand how GMs are getting much smarter on contracts yet Hosmer is deciding between multiple 7 year 140M offers. Makes me think Boras is leaking complete bullshit information.

Hosmer is the better player, has no major injury history and plays a position where you can age easy at. I don't get the Moose love over Hosmer. Other than KC likes fat guys over pretty boys.

I think Moose will age better than Hos. Hos has a long swing and as he gets older it will be tough for him to keep his bat speed up to keep up with fastballs.

If it were me, I'd take Hosmer first. I understand the mathematics of keeping Moose over Hos, though. But Hosmer is THE leader of this team and locker room. What's the price on an intangible like that?

Like with the majority of prospects as young as Gore, there is a reality that comes with that. 2020/2021 arrival would mean everything went fantastically in his development and there were no set backs.
