So, what should they do?

My tendency is to go with Hoskins if he and the D-backs can arrive at a contract that works for both parties.

There’s a lot to be said for the consistency he’s shown throughout his career, and adding a first-base platoon would not be a bad thing. If he’s looking for a “pillow contract,” he becomes even more attractive. Plus, he’s the youngest of these options.

But that’s just my opinion — and I’m not terribly confident in my recommendation. Leave your thoughts in the comments.
