PLAYERS: Trevor Hoffman

Word out of Milwaukee, in no way surprising, that Trevor Hoffman will start his Brewer career on the disabled list.Of course, I own him on two out of three leagues, because that is just how I roll, bitches.The move is retroactive to March 27, because the team doesn't think that he'll be out for a very long time, and 41 year old closers are not exactly known for their durability. So I'm not exactly cutting him. Just myself.Luckily, I'm sure this will be the last time this year that I have to deal with hurt players. Good to get that out of the way early, really.http://fivetooltool.blogspot.com - The Sports Blog That Loves You Back!
