Royals Rumblings - News for February 14, 2018
In his Mellinger Minutes, Sam Mellinger writes that bringing back Eric Hosmer could hurt the rebuild.
First, Hosmer is a good player, and if you’ve read this space before you probably know I believe baseball’s structure is currently set up in a way that rewards losing. Drop games, pick high, stock the farm system and get ready to go in a few years. That’s particularly true for teams without a lot of money, like the Royals.
The Royals are likely to lose a lot of games with or without Hosmer in 2018.
