ERIC HOSMER

Has anyone been more disappointing so far this season than Eric Hosmer? Well, maybe Alex Gordon. They’ve both been pretty terrible so far.

If the Royals don’t start winning games soon, Eric Hosmer might not be on this team for much longer.

Hosmer, however, is on the verge of getting a gigantic contract this offseason, but if he keeps hitting the way he’s hitting, it won’t be with the Royals. Royals fans will be happy about that too, as Hosmer just hasn’t gotten it together yet this season.

While Hosmer had two hits in the team’s loss on Sunday, he’s still barely hitting above the mendoza line with a .203 batting average. That’s not exactly what a team wants from their cleanup hitter. Hosmer has to do better and it’s time to stop giving him a pass just because he’s Eric Hosmer.

If the Royals don’t start winning games soon, Eric Hosmer might not be on this team for much longer. That’d be a bad way for the two to part ways, but it’s going to happen eventually. Maybe the sooner it happens, the better for the Kansas City Royals.
