Jeff Hoffman stud thread

[Orgfiller]

Loving the lack of walks and the groundouts are also nice.

[ElNik2013]

Don't know this for a fact, but Hoffman was taken out with a low pitch count as he threw only around 35 pitches in his last 4 innings. Let's say he had 20 in the 1st, chich is probably high, but that would still leave him at around 55 for the game.

 

They must be saving bullets for a late-season call-up

Jeff Hoffman World Series MVP 2015.

[Brownie19]

They corrected with Norris because he couldn't throw strikes...hasn't been a problem with Hoffman

 

Not good for his long term health though...

Some people don't need to have the same pitching motion as everyone else...see Sale as an example

Who are they trading him to?

[The Cats Ass]

Who are they trading him to?

 

Astros for Correa.

[Angrioter]

Astros for Correa.

 

lol Are you high?

Dan Duquette is better asset than Correa en Jays rejected the deal. Maybe Bryant + Schwarber

True. Wouldn't deal him for Mike Trout either considering we've already got Pillar and Pompey in AAA.

Yeah. Jays doesn't need to add more money to the current payroll. Trout is a decent player, but Pillar 500K is fine there

Except that there's been studies on elbow valgus load that show Chris Sale's arm is f***ed. Inverted W + sidearm slot = kill me please

Easy with the proof StroShow - you'll get LTBF all flustered.

Tell me when Sale's arm is f***ed...hasn't happened yet...might not happen at all

[GD]

Well there's no arguing with this, He really got you StroShow.

[StroShow]

Damn that's a career ender, except for the fact that he has already experienced elbow issues. He's doing a good job at trying to limit the stress (reducing slider usage), but he does not have a delivery you want to emulate.

[StroShow]

Maybe not...but I'd like to emulate that success.

 

Everybody wants to strike out 20 like Kerry Wood.

 

He's still an awesome pitcher. He just might not be one for a long time.

[NorthOf49]

There isn't that much public evidence supporting certain mechanical positions being significant harbingers of injury.

 

The more notable thing with Hoffman is that he's already blown out. Not good even if he recovers completely.

[Angrioter]

Sorry guy!!

 

[FrozenRopes]

Sorry guy!!

 

 

Doesn't Noah play in the National League for the Mets? Wrong forum fella.

Aaron Sanchez-esque, probably with more swinging strikes.

Wonder if Hoffman ends up being Sanchez like in terms that the stuff doesn't match the results. For such high velocity Hoffan much like Sanchez doesn't seem to get many swinging strikes. I think Hoffman's command will be much better though.

He just came back from TJS... give him time to get his command back.

[Angrioter]

Pro debut

18 - Giolito R-ball: 22 IP, (9.9 K, 3.9 BB, 0.0 HR)/9, 2.58 FIP

22 - Hoffman +A-ball: 28.2 IP, (5.0 K, 3.1 BB, 0.9 HR)/9, +5.00 FIP

Its not the command I'm worried about. Its the lack of missing bats. The reports on his velocity are very high yet he is only striking out 5/9IP in A ball.

You're taking this way too personal. Like its an affront to you that he isn't striking out 9+ per 9

lol im not taking it personally. Created a fun thread to see where other people stand on him and Norris.

[Angrioter]

Jeff Hoffman outing: IP, 2K (18K/9)

[Angrioter]

Jeff Hoffman outing: 2IP, 5 K's (22,5K/9)

 

 

AA to Jays' scout "If we want to trade Hoffman, the kid should to strike guys out in his next outing"
