That was my thought too. With people like Fox around, he's even more useless. Hoffpauir isn't used as much more than a LH pinch hitter.

Yep.

And I'm sorry, Hoff has gotten progressively worse month by month. Maybe Giambi has also, but he at least is dealing with injuries and can bounce back. His OBP is always respectable. Hoff has hit about .190 since the end of May with 4 HR AND 21 SO in roughly 44 games. And he doesn't help as a platoon partner for Bradley, offensively or defensively. Giambi could spell Lee from time to time and be a decent stick off the bench.

I just don't see the point. he's not any good and we don't need him. i give it a big meh. i couldn't care less about hoffpauir so whatever.
