A) Ackley- yes. Hosmer- close.

B) Between 20-25

C) I like Ackley more than Walker. Walker has more pop. Ackley will hit for better avg and swipe more bags.

A. I think both will. If Hosmer misses it, it won't be by much.

B. 20 sounds feasible.

C. I'd probably take Walker for this year and Ackley for every year afterwards. The duo position eligibility and pop gives him the edge for me.

A:) Seems to be the year of the pitcher. Hosmer has a career .312 BA in over 1000 minor league at bats. Ackely has a .280 BA in 772 minor league at bats. Advantage Hosmer.

B) Hosmer has never hit more then 20 homers in the minors.. He's not going to hit 20 his first year in the majors.

C) I personally would hope for a better option then Ackley or Neil Walker. Isn't there anyone else on the WW.

I still like Walker for this year. He is an RBI machine.

You do realize he has 8 bombs in 235 at bats. 20 is not unrealistic if he has a hot month.

If there were a better option at second base on the waiver wire, then that would make it a shitty fantasy baseball league.
