He's one of the streakiest Major Leaguers I've ever seen. In reality, Alex is about a .275 hitter. But he reaches .275 by hitting.350 for a week and then .200 the next week. It's amazing.
One big difference this season is his OBP. He's getting on base 2 to 3 times per game. Yost needs to move him up and Hosmer down.

He currently has the 9th best OBP in baseball. Amazing, for a #6 hitter and all. (#Yosted).

Its going to be a tough deal for Dayton Moore to make. On one hand, Alex is the face of the franchise right now, and is playing elite level defense and good to at times great offense. On the other hand, he is 31 years old, and as much as I hate to say it, decline will be coming. The question is when? A small market team like the Royals cannot give a huge contract to guy and have that player decline in the middle of the deal. But they also can't let him walk. I honestly would HATE to be Dayton in this situation.
