Take 30 seconds to pull up the actual facts before you embarrass yourself. |
Why are you setting it for 20 PA? That includes part-time and platoon guys. Just curious. If you want to talk about there being 30 teams and rank things that way, you should limit the discussion to actual starting 1B.
Eric Hosmer currently has a higher slugging percentage than Chris Davis, Prince Fielder, Edwin Encarnacion and Joe Mauer. He's just 20 points behind Miguel Cabrera, who's currently slugging .412.
My point: None of these numbers are guaranteed or even likely to stay where they are. It's a small sample size.
Hosmer needs to hit the ball with more authority. But calling him out as a problem when there are many more glaring problems seems odd to me.
