With Trevor Hoffman being placed on waivers yesterday, there is a need (in my mind) to look at some different options of where Hoffman to end. But first, we need to know how Hoffman has done this year.Hoffman is pitching very well this year, sporting a FIP of 2.67 to go with K/9 of 7.34 and a GB% of 44.7%. Before the year began I said that "I expect an ERA of 3.85, a K/9 of 7.00 and 25-30 saves from Hoffman this year." I'm doing pretty good on those K's, but he already has 27 saves.Now, onto the teams that should look at claiming the Hoff.Phillies - Lidge has lots of issues, and Madson hasn't had great success in the ninth inning.Yankees - Why wouldn't you want Rivera and Hoffman in the same bullpen come playoff time? You would never lose a close game.Cubs - Gregg got the boot, and Marmol is best suited for the eigth inning gig.In the end, I don't think Hoffman goes anywhere. He's a bit old for any team to want to rent him for the year.
