I think the fact that Hoff has been riding the pine for a good few weeks now is a pretty clear indication that he will be sent down. You just can't slap Fox in the face with a demotion after what he's done, and I don't care what his defensive limitations are. He'll get plenty of time shuffling around between 3B/LF/RF and PH. Fuld gave us a nice jolt for a couple of games and he's a great defender, but he is expendable. Now as far as making room in the bullpen for Guzman, it's clear to me it has to be Patton. Has the guy done anything, I mean ANYTHING to earn a roster spot for this long? I don't care if we DFA him or DL him, but he needs to be gone.
