I agree...I don't think it's a foregone conclusion that Hoff is safe.. Ridiculous. Why? Cause it means we will be keeping either Fuld or Patton up. Both of which are not big leaguers. I would love for Patton to be gone, but it doesn't seem to make much sense for the Cubs to hang on to him for so long and then drop him at this point. Fuld is pretty much a foregone conclusion to me.
