Valencia spent the first 3 weeks of that time sitting on the DL and only recently became an option again. He also has only started 6 games since returning. It's a platoon, mostly, but not a straight platoon.

Hosmer is actually only a .680 OPS guy against RHP (He is .616 against LHP). So playing in a straight platoon actually wouldn't help him that much.

I was just pointing out that for as much crap as Moustakas takes, he has been a beneficial player (still not a superstar like he was thought to possibly be coming out of MiLB, but a solid starter) for the team since his demotion and emergency promotion.

Perhaps the Royals should see if a similar wakeup call can jar Eric Hosmer out of his shit-tastic season. Because remaining calm and saying all is well sure as shit isn't working.
