"It’s a long season. We plan on playing in October," Hosmer said. "You start your hitting process a little later, just so when October rolls around, you’re still fresh."

It seems like our players are really optimistic this year.

I think that despite the low expectations, we might see them surprise a few people. I still don’t think more than 86-87 wins is likely, but who knows with this team?

2012 is the year we shine.

They haven't been beaten down with the pain of losing in KC

Which is good. Its why I like having a young team. Having vets around I think can have a really negative effect, especially journeymen who don’t necessarily want to be here or have been around losing a lot and are cynical.

I think that clubhouse chemistry is important, but so are numbers.

I think that it’s good to have veteran players on a young team that have been around winning and have good attitudes and work ethics. But, only if they put up above average numbers.

I think that’s what we get with Jeff Francoeur, but it’s still sort of obnoxious to hear about the nad taps and moxie all the time.
