Sam Mellinger notes that fans who think Eric Hosmer is greedy should also admit that he's smart.
As can't-miss as we hear Hosmer is, take a look at other guys who went third overall in the draft. It's not a sure thing.
Oh, there's Evan Longoria and Troy Glaus and some other solid big leaguers.
But there's also Luis Montanez, Dewon Brazelton, and B.J. Wallace. Kyle Sleeth went in that spot five years ago, and he's already retired without ever making it to the big leagues.
Most people don't get a single chance to be set for life. Hosmer's lucky his talent gave him that chance, and smart for cashing in early.
