Is it time for Hoffpauir to be called up?

[Kyle]

If he continues to hit like this I sure hope he get's a shot. He's more of a natural first baseman than anybody we have available right now. It also would cut Neifi's pt, because Walker would get most of the starts at 2nd. I wish they would call him up now while he's on fire.

What is exciting,he's doing it in a "pitchers league".

When Lee went down I thought they should consider it then. More because he's not considered much of a prospect anyway so we wouldn't mind if he had a lot of bench time. I would have seen him as more of a defensive replacement then a starter.

If they dumped Bynum off the 40 man, I'd like to see it. But the guy doesn't have much of a history of hitting.

of course, neither does bynum. if you're going to waste a roster spot on someone that can't hit, i'd prefer that guy be able to at least serve as a defensive replacement at a position that could use one.

Itd be easier to slip Bynum through waivers now than in ST. Additionally you could remove Restovich from the roster and send him down.

What makes you think Restovich wouldn't be claimed?

 

I can see Bynum slipping through, but not so sure about Restovich.

 

Anyway, what are Hoffpair's stats right now?

He looked downright overmatched at AAA when I got to see him last year. I don't think he's ready to provide offense, and I think that should be priority #1.

Well, he's leading the Southern League (a pitchers league) in home runs, slugging percentage, total bases, and OPS. He didn't do that his first time aroud at Double A. Maybe he's learned something new...

He didn't struggle at AA either last time. .306/.347/.497/.844. I looks to me like he's riding a hot streak from that spell of home runs. He's also 26 now as well. I don't think there's any big change, I think he's just having a good month.

Agreed. It's nice to see him having success, but I am extremely apprehensive to think that it could potentially carry that over if he were called up based on what I saw of him at Iowa last season.
