FACTS/FLUKES: Hosmer, Quintana, Eaton, M. Perez, Schoop

Hosmer developing some power? ... It's been a familiar tune for Eric Hosmer (1B, KC) throughout his career: solid batting average, but a ground ball swing has capped any major power potential. But in 2016, Hosmer's on pace for a career-high HR total with eight bombs through just 157 AB, while also maintaining a .300+ BA. Can we get behind the power binge, or is this the same old Hosmer?
