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. <span style="background:yellow">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.</span><u></u><u></u></span></p>
