The Phillies have designated 34-year old righty swinging catcher Paul Hoover for assignment to make room on the roster for Brian Schneider who is coming off the D.L. Hoover played in 6 games for the Phillies this season and he is 5 for 18 (.278 avg, .770 OPS) with 6 runs scored and 2 RBIs. I’m thinking that Hoover would accept a minor league assignment with the Phillies as he played well enough to be called right back up if something happened to Carlos Ruiz or Brian Schneider.
