I don't know if he's the next Albert but I feel he has untapped potential. If he stays in KC, he will never have the home runs that Albert has but his BA potential out of this world. I've been lucky to have one of my best friends get me free Royals tix when ever I want.
This same friend has also been able to get me free autographed merchandise. I'm lucky to have my Hosmer bat, ball, jersey and hat signed. Being a life long Royals fan, I hope he will stay. The only problem is money. Believe it or not, the Royals have the money. It's all Wal-Mart money. THey just need to spend it!
