Eric Hosmer's average continues to climb
by Michael Hurcomb | CBSSports.com
(6/17/13) Royals first baseman Eric Hosmer produced his sixth multi-hit game in June Sunday against the Rays. Hosmer went 2 for 5 with one run.

Hosmer is batting .305 (18 for 59) with one home run, three doubles, six walks, seven RBI and 12 runs in 15 June games. He also has two stolen bases. 

Since May 19, Hosmer is batting .306 (33 for 108), raising his average from .244 to .272. Unfortunately, Hosmer continues to be plagued by a lack of home runs and RBI. He has just two home runs and 15 RBI in 43 games since May 1.

Eric Hosmer hitting despite absence of power
by Michael Hurcomb | CBSSports.com
(6/10/13) Royals first baseman Eric Hosmer extended his modest hitting streak to four games Sunday against the Astros, but Hosmer has actually been a much-improved hitter for a few weeks now. He's batting .329 (26 for 79) in his last 21 games, raising his average from .244 to .276. 

Unfortunately, power still eludes Hosmer. He has just one home run through 58 games and his homerless streak reached 29 games Sunday. Hosmer has just 12 extra-base hits and is slugging .348 this season.

Eric Hosmer moved to two hole
by Chris Cwik | CBSSports.com
(6/6/13) Royals first baseman Eric Hosmer hit in the two-spot Wednesday against the Twins. 

Manager Ned Yost asked the team's front office to compile an ideal lineup after crunching some numbers and decided to give it a spin Wednesday. Hosmer was elevated to No. 2 in order to take advantage of his left-handedness. Although Hosmer has struggled against righties this year, he has a significant advantage against them over his career. Thirty of his 34 home runs have come off right-handers. 

Hosmer went hitless during the game. It's unclear is he'll continue to be used in the role with a righty on the mound. 

Eric Hosmer not elevating the ball
by Scott White | Senior Fantasy Writer
(5/21/13) A look at Eric Hosmer's batted-ball stats gives a pretty good indication why he has only one home run so far, and the good news is it's not because of diminished skills. He's simply not getting any elevation on the ball. His fly-ball rate of 19.5 percent is the third-lowest in all of baseball, behind only slap-it-and-run types Everth Cabrera and Elvis Andrus.

Of course, a relatively low fly-ball rate wouldn't be the worst thing for Hosmer's batting average, but this one is clearly doing him more harm than good.

That's not to say the Royals first baseman trying to hit the ball on the ground, but as often as he's doing it, I can't help but think his mechanics are off. In other words, his problem is correctable. It's just a matter of correcting it.

Practically speaking, none of this does any good for Hosmer owners at the moment, but if his back-to-back multi-hit games lead to a full-fledged hot streak, don't hesitate to buy into him again.

Eric Hosmer gets first May double
by Michael Hurcomb | CBSSports.com
(5/20/13) Royals first baseman Eric Hosmer had his first double in 16 May games Sunday against the Athletics. He was 2 of 4 for his fourth multi-hit game this month.

Hosmer is batting .254 (16 for 63) with a double, triple, home run, four RBI, six walks and seven runs in May.
