But then again, no one really knows Hosmer's ceiling.
"We have no idea what [that ceiling] is," Royals manager Ned Yost said. "He's a guy who can run, can hit for average, can hit for power, does winning things on the basepaths. He's a Gold Glover who is probably the best in the game at that.
"And he hasn't even reached his potential. We saw a lot of it last year, but there's more in there."
Hosmer certainly had a breakthrough season in 2015, smacking 18 homers with a career-high 93 RBIs.
