Taking a shot on young talent

Cue Eric Hosmer. In the latest call-up the Royals have decided to recall from AAA Eric Hosmer who has gotten off to an insane start batting .525 in 26 games with 3 HR and 15 RBI. I picked him up immediately as he's gotten rave reviews from many scouts and I could use some help in the power category. But is it worth it to take a flier on guys like this who have so much "potential" but might not do anything for a while in the big leagues? I dropped a guy on my bench who wasnt worth much, but how far would you go and what caliber player would you drop in order to get one of these young studs with so much potential?
