By keeping Hochevar in the minors through the first month, we get to keep him an extra year. I'll take a few spots from Ponson for that.

Kid hasn't done anything yet to make the "keep him another year" thing make any sense. If the organization was worried about this, a better approach would be to sign him to an extension, since it's likely that he'll never be cheaper.
Not all of Ponson's starts have been terrible, but if the team really sacrificed four games for the bottom line, I can't think of anything more chickenshit. That's old school Royals bullshit there.
