KC Royals Call Up 1B Top Prospect

Royals set wheels in motion, call Eric Hosmer up to bigs - Big League Stew - MLBBlog - Yahoo! Sports


Man, the Royals are making me care about baseball a little bit more

I had a feeling he'd be up by June. Followed this kid since he got drafted out of HS. Kid has a nice stroke. Hopefully for the Royals sake he won't suffer the same fate as many of their other top prospects. Hosmer, Freeman on the Braves, and Brandon Belt on my Giants are the 3 top 1b prospects in the game.

Unlike Alex Gordon when he came up, Hosmer doesn't have to be the man because this team is already hitting and scoring runs. I think you'll see Hosmer hit in a pressure-less 5 or 6 hole in the lineup.

Bob Hamelin v2.0?

I am a huge Braves fan, Freeman and Heyward are the future of this team and that makes me extremely excited.

In all honesty Jon, the Royals only have one direction to move and that is up. I am a huge Cardinals fan so I don't follow the Royals all that much but being that I live in KC I do enjoy going to a game now and then. It would be nice to have them win a little more than they do currently. I wouldn't be against an '85 rematch either!

The Royals farm system is pretty stacked. I'd love to see them compete again. Hopefully in 2-3 years they can compete in that division.
