Backup Firstbaseman - Micah Hoffpauir

The Cubs' backup firstbaseman looks to be Micah Hoffpauir once again. The lefty will be turning thirty this year but has apparently topped out as a bench player. 

Hoffpauir's bat was not too impressive last year, batting only .239 with 12 doubles, 1 triple, 10 homeruns and 35 RBIs.  He also had 20 walks and 46 Ks. 

Hoffpauir has shown pop in the past.  In a limited run in 2008, Hoffpauir batted .342 in 73 at bats, hitting 2 homers and driving in 8.  He also had some pretty good numbers in the minor leagues.

Hopefully, Derrek Lee will stay healthy and Hoffpauir won't be needed for any significant offensive help.
