So I don’t know what will happen. But here’s the thing: My heart tells me that Hosmer will be great. Scouts like him. He’s got a great swing, a great body, great high school numbers, all that. He’s an advanced htter … those guys have the best shot of making it through the minors quickly. My heart says: Hosmer was a great pick. I tend to write with my heart, which is one reason why I’m so often wrong.

In his defense, there's a lot of information out there which could reasonably lead one to the conclusion that Hosmer will be great

It’s not like he was a reach and isn’t a high-talent, high-ceiling draftee.

This is just my opinion. I could easily be wrong.

At least he admits he's often wrong with his draftee and prospect overhype

This is just my opinion. I could easily be wrong.

I hope it’s obvious that I posted this without comment just because it’s a typically fun Posnanski quote that can either make him look great in the future, or really bad. It wasn’t a comment on Hosmer. Just thought people would get a kick out of it.

Also was a chance to get some important tags started.
