Yeah, knowing Castillo would be gone, I was debating between Hoskins and Olson, neither of them needed for the upcoming season, so went with who I consider the better long term player as opposed to who had the better card. In hindsight, I probably should have just kept Devers, who I believe will be a better long term player than Hoskins. Sometimes, the rush of an offseason trade in the middle of a cold winter gets the best of me.
I think you got a great player in Hoskins. Meaning more than just one season. Even though I needed Olson and his left-handed bat, Hoskins is clearly the better player when considering the whole offensive picture - power plus BA and OBP. And Hoskins can play the outfield too![/quote
Well, he's off to a great start anyway. I have no misconceptions of my 1st season prospects in this league, they are little to none. But, I am hoping that in a weaker division season 2, I can sneak into the playoffs where strange things always happen.
