The reason he is still effective is because of how good his change up is. Since he throws it with identical arm speed, it has dropped velocity in tandem with his fastball and he has maintained his deception. Additionally, his slider has always been significantly underrated. Hoffman was consistently in the mid-90s before his second round of shoulder problems around 2001-2003.

I can see him as a closer, but I doubt he'll stay a starter with Oakland being full of pitching talent unless he gets traded Does anybody know the likelyhood that he will be moved to relief in the future?
