Thats just how arbitration works. As much as I despised Hoch (I wanted his ass non-tendered last year) he was a dominating setup man last season, and that has value. At this point we probably have to keep him if we want to have a decent chance in 2014 with this rotation.
I don't know if he would have gotten 5 million in free agency, probably he would, but if we didn't want to pay what arbitration was going to force on us, then our only alternative was to cut him.
