It is close but I think I like it. The problem with Bruce in a points league, is his strikeouts. While he has tremendous power, he doesn't get enough hits (bad BA) and he strikes out way too much. Hosmer, while still having growing pains should be able to match or get close to Bruce in value with the potential of blowing by him. I am not a Cuddyer fan and would take Cespedes over him. I might then try and move Cespedes if you could find an owner who values him more.
