Hosmer Has a 254 ba with just a 321 obp. he has only hit 10 homers all year at the 1b position. That would of been and awful and I do mean awful signing. he has driven in just 47 runs. so i totally disagree with you on hosmer.
Yes all gm are constrained by the budget it is not the owner fault that he spent absurdly, now is the budget too low absolutely. I think he wanted this manager, he wanted swarzak, vargas, bruce, etc. He wanted to trade a pitching prospect for aj ramos. he wanted to draft all the kids over the last 7 years that hasn't panned out. None of this is on the owners, but all of it is on the gm.
