he could've been effective... not arguing that... But the royals are in no shortage of quality relievers.
The point you're avoiding is that he's replaceable at a fraction of the cost. (I was vehemently against him being on the roster last year.. imo he is all that is wrong with Dayton Moore)
What really sucks from a discussion standpoint is that we'll probably never know reagarding Hoch in the future... He'll come back from TJ Surgery but we won't be able to tell if last season was or wasn't a fluke definitively.
