It's that time. On today's edition of the Locked On Padres podcast, Javier is dedicating an episode to he-who-must-not-be-named: Eric Hosmer. Javi explains why the Padres first basemen has been so disappointing, evaluating his past, present, and future. Can he be traded? Why is it, exactly, that he's been so maligned a figure by fans? What can he do to improve his play? So many questions, (almost) all will be answered!
