2012
Hoes made a big improvement as a 21-year-old in Double-A, hitting .307/.381/.414 in 394 plate appearances. He won't hit for much power - he has just 16 home runs dating back to 2008 - but he makes plenty of contact and showed the ability to take a walk last season. That can play at second base in the majors, if he ends up at that position (he played 85 games in left field and 31 games at second base in the minors last year), while the ongoing concussion issues plaguing Brian Roberts could create an opportunity for Hoes with the Orioles sooner rather than later.
2011
Hoes made his way to High-A by the end of the season and Baltimore's 2008 third-round draft gamble has paid off. He doesn't have a lot of power, but he could be a good hitter at the MLB level given his combination of contact skills and eye at the plate. Unfortunately, rotisserie owners are going to need to see more tools before investing in him as a growth stock for keeper leagues as his 2010 numbers didn't hint at much potential just yet. Brian Roberts is signed through 2013, so the 21-year-old will have plenty of time to continue his development, which should continue with Double-A Bowie to begin 2011.
