I don't find this encouraging at all. Last year at this time we were all ripping Hosmer for being a bust. Then he caught fire the rest of the year and gave us hope: hope that he had FINALLY figured it out. Now he has reverted back to being a ****ing bust again, and that hope is gone.

A Gold Glove bust?? ;)

Ross Gload was pretty nifty with the glove, too.

Interesting article.

I feel one big difference between the generations of hitters that at at has happened during my lifetime is the inability of our players to figure things out on their own. Professional players should have the inner desire to work on their own also.

Very distinctly I remember a story Dick Howser relayed to the press during the 1986s season about Hal Mac looking on the lineup card and seeing he was not playing that day. Hal had been in a mild slump. Instead of grousing, Hal grabbed a tee and a bag of balls and went to the bullpen to work on his swing.

Howser stated that Hal was "such a professional and took his craft seriously" even that late in his career, and Howser said that would rub off on younger players.

Maybe our players have they drive also. It sure doesn't seem like they do.

He was working on his golf game - aiming for Toma on the riding mower.

Hal don't take shit from nobody!

I'd rather have a power hitting first baseman with cement hands.

Fixed by Sveum!

And not a single **** was given.

Dick Stuart!

He can put this on his mantle after he leaves next year to play for Nebraska

He learned that grand slam stroke in high school, you know.

They won't even move him out of the three hole, let alone sit him. Why should he work harder?

No accountability for Moose and Hosmer. Gordon and Butler had to work to he back...hosmer and Moose should be in AAA

Hopefully Moose is headed back to Omaha after Valencia returns from the DL. I have no idea what to say about Hosmer. Someone needs to help him fix his ****ing swing though.
