While Hosmer, Moustakas, and even Morales (mainly because there are always 2 DHs) certainly have cases for bench spots, I'd be hard pressed to say they should be starting over the guys who are 1st, 2nd, and 5th in the league in slugging. I'd also say Prince Fielder may have a better case than Hosmer although Hosmer is still good.

I'm actually okay with Perez going. His offensive numbers are respectable for a catcher, but defense is clearly the #1 priority at that spot. Definitely hope Vogt makes the bench though.
