Posnanski: Hosmer brings new feel to Padres

When Eric Hosmer and Wil Myers were drafted by the Kansas City Royals a decade or so ago they were given more or less the same speech by Royals general manager Dayton Moore. They were told that they were the future of the organization, that they were the players who would take Kansas City baseball from the bottom to the top. Moore wanted them to embrace the challenge. The Royals had been terrible for 15 years. There were people saying that they would never be good again.
