If he was concerned about them long term, sending them to Omaha right now won't hurt that. It might help. In fact I'm sure it would. But either way I'd tell them both that if they don't perform they don't stay. That's what loser small markets do: allow loser youngsters to keep playing no matter what.

Hosmer has actually been at his best this season when more in the top of the lineup. Batting 3rd and 4th he is 8 for 21 for a .380 average. Tells me that when batting lower, after he takes his initial fastball right down the middle of the plate (
), he doesn't get nearly as many hittable pitches.
