Fantasy Notes: Hoover to Suck up Playing Time?

Olivo, having a solid year, is already on pace to play 134 games this year and this extra action should garner more interest in him in deeper mixed leagues. Hoover, for his part, is a 30-year-old journeyman catcher who was originally a 23rd round pick by Tampa Bay way back in 1997. He’s gone 4-for-21 in two previous big league stints, the most recent in 2002, and is a veteran of 810 minor league games where his claim to fame is some pretty good speed for a catcher, having once stolen almost 30 bases in one minor league season. Hoover is batting .281 through 80 games at Triple-A this year with a bit of pop (20 doubles and five dingers).
