If Hoff was 23 or 24, they wouldnt be able to get him up fast enough. Hes been solid the past few seasons, though hampered by injury, but nowhere near the AAA juggernaut hes been this season. Im just saying he deserves a shot this year, and if he proves himself, hes given that first bat off the bench job next year instead of overpaying some wash up to do it. I know hes ancient for a prospect, but Im surprised that no teams inquired about him at the deadline.
