If it's $6M/1 yr, the Duda can abide in Boston.
The only thing Hosmer has going for him is that he's dating NESNs Kacie McDonnall.

It's only difficult for other people.
It works the same way for stupid."
The only time high Ks bother me, is if the guy's OBP is low. Duda still gets on base enough, when he doesn't HR.
He was over .349 from 2013-2015, and his .322 OBP this year was not that bad.
His .496 SLG% this year would have led the Sox by 37 points!
At such a low cost, to me, it's worth it.
I do as well although who knows with his personality. From what I hear, he is a really hard worker but it would be difficult to know that from his demeanor. I think the best bet is to avoid his return in 2019 and go with a safer prospect. Some great ones will come on the market then.
