Eric Hosmer No Stranger To Hot Starts
4 years agoSan Diego Padres first baseman Eric Hosmer has a knack for quick starts. Over the past five seasons, the nine-year veteran holds an .833 OPS through the first 60 games, incidentally the length of 2020. After spiraling to end last year, Hosmer finished with a subpar 91 wRC+ and 22 long balls in his second consecutive disappointing campaign in San Diego. Lacking the prototypical first baseman power profile, Hosmer justifiably falls outside the top 20 at his position with a 226 ADP. But with decent supporting weapons, Hosmer should have ample run-producing opportunities to merit a bench spot in deeper leagues if he and the Friars play to expectations.
