Re: 24 Hours and Counting....Time For a Poll
I think its crazy there is no conflict with Boras having so many of those kids.... seems like there would have to be at least some sort of conflict in there somewhere... then again, I'm not a sports agent, just your friendly neighborhood attorney
Casey
Oh, and I hope Pedro signs!

I'm a Smoak fan, but the one I want to collect the most already signed, and also is with Razor already in Brett Wallace.

Justin Smoak, cause he's a local boy. I hope he does not sign with Razor like Havens did.

Re: 24 Hours and Counting....Time For a Poll
He was my vote. Dude is a legit four tooler, although it keeps looking more and more like he is built for 3B (a position the Royals are already clogged at).

Re: 24 Hours and Counting....Time For a Poll
Please show me where you have read anything calling Hosmer a "legit five tooler" or built for 3B.
He isn't either of those....Read Below.
Hitting Ability: Hosmer is an advanced high school hitter who has an excellent approach, balance and bat speed.
Power: He's got average power right now, but there's plenty of room for more once he closes holes up and in.
Running Speed: He is a well below-average runner.
Base Running: The below-average speed makes him a bit of a clogger.
Arm Strength: He's got an above-average arm, a rarity for a first baseman.
Fielding: Hosmer has soft hands and can really pick it at first.
Range: He moves surprisingly well and has good range.
Physical Description: Hosmer is a big, strong left-handed first baseman who's drawn comparisons to Casey Kotchman, both in size and hitting ability.
Medical Update: Healthy.
Strengths: An advanced approach at the plate, plenty of power potential -- he's just an all-around offensive package.
Weaknesses: The one weakness in his offensive game is on pitches up and in. He tucks his hands and anything thrown hard and inside will give him some trouble.
Summary: Arguably the top high school bat in the Draft class, the lefty first baseman has drawn comparisons to Casey Kotchman for his advanced hitting approach, though he might not quite be there. He's got a ton of upside with the bat, both in terms of hitting for average and power and he's surprisingly nimble defensively. Teams who like high school hitters with potential to move fairly quickly will be on Hosmer all spring.

Re: 24 Hours and Counting....Time For a Poll
Meant 4 tooler (he is not a gifted runner), which is why I edited my post before your reply.
Lets see; he has a plus arm, which would be completely wasted at first base, so it makes no sense to keep him there. He has soft hands and good range which are ideal for a good 3B....finally, he is slow and would therefor not be a fit for the other logical option, right field. I was making my own conclusions from several scouting reports, and I personally see him as a future third basemen.
