Eric Hosmer

Hosmer drove in 104 RBIs last year but from a fantasy standpoint, that is all he did. 2016 was the first year that he hit 20 home runs and it seemed that he sold out to do so. Hosmer is usually a pretty safe bet for average but by selling out to hit more home runs he batted only .266 and without elite power numbers and speed numbers, he won’t help out your fantasy team.

Instead of wasting a pick on Hosmer, I would recommend drafting Adam Eaton, Jose Bautista or Miguel Sano, who will all showcase better numbers across the board.

I love fantasy sports more than you love most things in life. I am great at giving fantasy advice because if it doesn't work out, it's the players fault not mine. I love to help others with their fantasy sports questions and instead of following politics or other important topics that are going on in the world, I do fantasy research. Let me help you guys win your leagues and in daily sports.
