Jamie Hoffmann
Outfielder
25 years old
6-3, 235 lbs
Drafted: He was never taken in baseball’s amateur draft — that’s the Rule
4 draft, by the way – but he was an eighth-round pick in the NHL. The
Dodgers signed him out of high school as a non-drafted free agent.
Career: Hoffman’s power numbers have actually gotten better as he’s
advanced through the minor leagues. Just a guess, but that might be the
result of him improving by playing more baseball and less hockey. Last year
he opened in Double-A, went to Triple-A after 29 games and went to the big
leagues eight games later. He stayed in Los Angeles for a month, got just 22
at-bats, and finished with solid numbers in the Pacific Coast League.
Defense: Baseball America rated Hoffmann as the best defensive player in the
Dodgers system, above average across the board. He’s played 325 minor league
games in center field, 258 in right and 13 in left. He was primarily a center
fielder during his time in Triple-A. Baseball America notes that he “gets
good jumps and runs good routes.”
Offense: Hoffmann is a career .283 hitter with a .401 slugging percentage,
but his slugging was .455 in Triple-A this year. He’s not a huge strikeout
guy either. He had 37 strikeouts and 32 walks in 257 Triple-A at-bats this
season. While his power has improved, he’s never hit more than 11 home runs
in a season. That was this year. He hit 10 in 2008 and nine in 2007. He’s
reached double digit steals every season, but he’s only gone above 20 steals
once.
Why he was available: When the Dodgers made their September call-ups this
year, they took Hoffmann off the 40-man roster, but the story is a bit more
complicated than that, at least according to Brian Cashman. ”The Dodgers
last year reduced him from their roster, and teams put claims on him
throughout the game,” Cashman said. “But (the Dodgers) had a deal with him
of signing him back. They gave him a $25,000 signing bonus, so he rejected
the claims and went to Triple-A for them. It was a smart deal by the Dodgers
to try to protect their assets when they got into a roster crunch. They knew
he wouldn’t get through the outright, and he didn’t.” I honestly had no
idea a player could reject a claim, but there you have it.
Where he fits for the Yankees: He’ll have a chance to win a bench role in
spring training. “He’s got a lot of talent,” Cashman said. “Right-handed
hitter. We’ll see what he does. He has great makeup. He’s got ability. We
project him, in the future, as an everyday-type player. We’ve got all those
left-handed bats, we’ll see how he mixes in.”
