Wait till next year in Kansas City.  Mike Moustakas slugged .630 between AA/AAA last year, but Eric Hosmer is better.  Hosmer is torching AAA at 21 at a .430/.518/.581 pace with 40 hits and 18 walks (vs. 15 K) in 25 games. [You know, Anthony-Rendon-with-the-springboard-metal-bats kind of numbers.]
Plus, Alex Gordon is finally healthy and found his stroke, Billy Butler is a stud and they have some solid pitching coming up, too.  And their third-best hitting prospect (Wil Myers) only had 54 XBH and 85 walks in A ball at 19, though he's struggling a bit at AA as he moves from C to OF.
Oh, and they have the #5 pick and could end up with local legend Bubba Starling.
Watch out.
