>From Rotoworld, Buyer Beware:

 

Eric Hosmer went 0-for-7 in Wednesday's 15-inning loss to the Orioles.

Hosmer's latest brutal night makes him just 9-for-59 in the month of
May, and leaves him with a borderline unfathomable .174/.237/.319 triple
slash. We still expect Hosmer to ultimately make himself useful in mixed
leagues this season, but there's no reason for him to be in your
starting lineup outside of deeper AL-only leagues for the time being. If
he continues to struggle to this magnitude, it's not inconceivable that
Kansas City may send him to Triple-A to iron out his swing.

ITEM

Eric Hosmer
<http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/h/hosmeer01.shtml?utm_source=
direct&utm_medium=linker&utm_campaign=Linker>  is vastly underwhelming
in his sophomore season.Over 34 games, he has a .174/.243/.326 line in
144 plate appearances. In a season where very little has gone right,
Hosmer is a big part of the "gone wrong" column.

LOSERS

Berliners. With Swisher falling back to earth, Doumit sidelined and
Upton underperforming, Hosmer now offers only faint hope for team
desparately thirsting for power production as hopes to capture Damon
START TO DRY UP.

WINNER

Adams Family Values. Berliners' raging desire for Chris Davis only grows
deeper with each Hosmer o'fer as AFV SMELLS BLOOD IN THE WATER.
