The embroidered leather headrests on a Range...
have obviously replaced a Porsche with a quadraphonic Blaupunkt in the parlance of minor-league bling since the late 80’s.
“I got a Porsche already…with a quadraphonic Blaupunkt.”
“Christ. You don’t need a…quadraphonic…Blaupunkt. What you need is a curve ball!”

Wow. Just wow.
I get the feeling that I would personally enjoy hanging out with Moustakas more than our most recent #1 pick.
Then again, maybe he has ‘Moose’ stitched into the leather exterior of his Range Rover.
Waiting for April.
I saw a video on facebook
of “HOS” and “Moose” playing golf with eachother smoking some stogies… if you wanna call it golf.. they were just crushing the ball with drivers and celebrating how far they could hit it.. lol

Hey, Hosmer!

would a random girl even know who he was?
not trying to be mean or sexist, but really?
i blog about the royals 365 and i would not recognize eric hosmer if he was a foot away
he's no Russ Branyan, that's for sure
is he such a stud he can play without a hat?
What percentage of Royals major league players/real prospects do you think exist in the “tool range” exemplified by these photographs? 50? 75? 98.3%?
OMG Banny. FWIW I am only crdtng u w/3 runs allwd bc of DDJ OMFG
by Matt Klaassen on Dec 6, 2008 12:43 AM EST up reply actions
Over 90, but I think the percentage drops off gradually with age
An 18 year old who was the best sports star at his high school who gets drafted in the top 5 in a major sport and becomes an instant millionaire has almost no chance of avoiding tool-hood.
This is just my opinion. I could easily be wrong.

+1
Best case scenario is that a few years from now, Hosmer sees these photos and wants to use his millions to buy a time machine so that he can go up to the 18-year-old him and slap the shit out of him. Probably won’t happen, mind you, but I’m optimistic.
In the same circumstances, I’d like to think that I would be able to avoid embroidered “Hos” on the driver’s seat of my car. That is just unfortunate.
yeah, the "Hos" was the tipping point for me
I just hope he doesn’t get calf implants

He could throw around some of his bonus money in a bar...
…and lots of random girls would instantly be interested regardless of who he is. Oh, and I admire his restraint in only signing that girl’s upper chest.

word
reminded me of the Branyan picture
How tall is Hosmer? I looks pretty muscle-y for an 18 year-old, but I thought he was supposed to be aver 200 lbs. Is he 6-3 or so? Cause remember, BA says that’s not “ideal size”… You know, look at what happened to that Alex Rodriguez kid

Her in a local bar and she wanted to go home with me, I probably would do it. But then, I haven’t made half a billion dollars in my life, either, and I’m older than she is.

If you’re an average younger guy, she’s a good cougar. If you are an attractive, rich, sports superstar, she’s….well, I won’t disparage her more than I already have, but she doesn’t appear to be a great catch in looks or personality. I wouldn’t want to talk to her, spend time with her, or touch her. I have no idea why ARod chose her. I’m baffled.

A-Rod is just... weird
I mean, it’s a given that most pro atheletes are slimey when it comes to sex. Whatever. But A-Rod, yeah, he’s probably one of the best 20-30 baseball players ever (that’s a conservative estimate), even at his age he’s still one of the top 3-5 in the game (Pujols is clearly better than everyone else, and it’s not even very close). I mean, historically, I’d obviously rank A-Rod ahead of Utley, Sizemore, etc., but at the moment [they are in their primes, he’s at the beginning of a gradual decline] they are about equal. Whatever. All due respect to A-Rod, the best player of our lifetimes since Barry Bonds.
….but it goes beyond the Madonna thing. At least Barry Bonds took the traditional “being an asshole” route to hiding his insecurities. Dennis Rodman and Jose Canseco, even when they were good, just wanted attention. A-Rod is sort of in his own “weird” zone. It would be sort of cool in a creepy way if he just didn’t care what people thought, except that he so clearly does.
not that any of it matters as long has he keeps putting up 7 WAR seasons…

Madonna's advice
“Be photographed with me in public a lot — it’s great for your image to be seen with an older woman, especially one with a sterling reptuation like mine. Also, give shitloads of money to my cultspiritual guidance center.”

Are you talking about his name or his nickname? I’ve heard his name pronounced both Hozz-mer and Hose-mer, and I think I’ve heard the latter more often (and I think that is the correct pronciation). I assume the nickname would be pronounced The Hozz, because that is cooler. But I’m guessing.
This is just my opinion. I could easily be wrong.

Now That I
Think of it, I’m not sure I’ve ever heard his name spoken. I just assumed it was the latter.

Although I doubt Hosmer does, I do like the thought of resurrecting one of my favorite old-time baseball nicknames. Charles “Old Hoss” Radbourn (1854-1897). Eleven years of professional baseball, mostly as a pitcher (1881-1891). He had a career record of 309-195 and an ERA of 2.67 (119 ERA+). His 60 wins in 1884 is a record which will never be broken.
This is just my opinion. I could easily be wrong.
by Scott McKinney on Dec 6, 2008 3:06 PM EST up reply actions
It's Hozz-mer
95% of the world mispronounces my last name.
So my guess is the correct pronounciation is the one you don’t hear much, because everyone thinks they can read and pronounce it phonetically.
giavotella likes gangsta rap according to his facebook page

wow
We have a judging crowd here today. Let the kid be. He just got drafted #3 overall and was handed a 6 million dollar check. When that happens when you’re 18, you’re cleared to act like you’re the shit for a couple years. I’m sure he bought his mother a sweet car too.
I think we're all just having fun with it
At least I was.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m sure he was a total sweetheart in high school.

Yeah, we're just poking some fun at the kid
We’ve all be kids, and we’ve all been immature at (many) times. Like I said above, when you’re in his position, you’re almost certainly going to be something of a tool for a while, and then you grow up.
This is just my opinion. I could easily be wrong.
by Scott McKinney on Dec 6, 2008 6:46 PM EST up reply actions
I don't think
having some fun with becoming an instant millionaire makes you something of a tool. I thik it’s probably just a sweet time. I know poking fun at a picture of a newly rich kid kissing his putter isn’t a big deal, but it just doesn’t seem like a legitimate criticism to me. There’s a decent chance he’ll read this stuff, you know? It’s one thing to publicly criticize a player for on-field performance or legitimate off-field issues like a DUI or accidentally shooting yourself in a bar, but there’s no need to take character potshots at a kid for earning some money and being human, you know?
I guess I thought we weren't taking potshots
but just giving him a hard time, but ymmv

It’s not a legitimate thing to criticize. It’s a legitimate thing to poke some fun at.

No, I don’t think there is a decent chance of that. But if he does, I hope he’s the kind of guy who can take a joke. And if he isn’t, I hope he soon becomes one, because when you’re famous, people like joke about you and make fun of you. And if that is the worst criticism you get, you’re very fortunate.
but there’s no need to take character potshots at a kid for earning some money and being human, you know?
They aren’t character potshots. At most they are personality or maturity potshots. And that’s ok in my book.
This is just my opinion. I could easily be wrong.

And if his skin isn’t thick enough for him to handle this kind of ribbing, then he’s going to be in huge trouble when he receives genuine criticism, which will come. It always does.

I'm sure he thinks he's a badass
for goodness sakes, go back to the fact that he’s rockin a new SUV with his nickname on the seats
its not like we found a random fragile 19 yr old and started making fun of him
I'm sure he sits around reading
books by the Bronte sisters and listening to the Cure, wondering if that girl from his art class has noticed him sitting quietly in the corner

None of those pictures are disconcerting,
unlike the one a couple of years ago showing Daniel Cortes passed out sitting on his toilet seat.
Mind you, I’m no prude, and I understand kids will get drunk (hell, we all do it) – but getting drunk enough to NOT prevent that photo getting taken and posted somewhere is at least mildly alarming…..
Mr Glass, this is a pro sports team, not a retail store - run it like one!
unlike the one a couple of years ago showing Daniel Cortes passed out sitting on his toilet seat.
