Miklasz, Pop Warner indicated that Hoffpauir was above-average defensively. Has good range and turns the double play well. I believe he added that his arm is pretty strong, too. Warner said that before this month, Hoffpauir's glove was clearly better than his bat. Makes you wonder whether he could handle shortstop as well in a utility role. In an interview with B.

When your big league club is hurting for second basemen and there is virtually no one blocking him at Memphis, why not try to move him up the line? His average is there, and, most importantly, his OPB is there. I agree, give him a shot. I don’t think the lack of power is that big of an issue, but not moving him up to Memphis is.

If he were 20 years old, I could see keeping him where he is, but he isn't, as he turned 24 on the 18th. I think at this age his prospect status is about used up, so it is time to move him up to see if he can be someone who contributes to the big league club. Also, its not like he would be taking bats away from guys who factor in the Cards' future. www.whiteyball.com I agree.
