Bullpen will again be a strength in 2012
MILWAUKEE In 2011, the Milwaukee Brewers went into the All-Star break tied with the St. Louis Cardinals atop the National League Central. They went 49-43 in the first half a respectable mark but tore through the second half with a 47-23 record, on the way to a franchise-record 96 victories and their first division title in 29 years.
There may have been no bigger factor in that...

LaTroy Hawkins Is a Survivor
The surprise isn't that LaTroy Hawkins is still pitching in the major leagues. The surprise is that anyone would sign a 39 year old pitcher that isn't left-handed. If reports are correct, Hawkins has signed a one year deal with the Angels for $3 million pending a physical. If the deal becomes finalized it will mean an eighteenth season for Hawkins with his ninth different team....

Veteran Hawkins ready to stabilize 'pen
Reliever LaTroy Hawkins took the liberty of showing up at the Winter Meetings in Dallas this year -- something he finds especially beneficial as a veteran of 17 seasons and eight teams -- and by being there, he was able to venture into the Angels' suite moments after agreeing on a one-year, $3 million deal with them on Dec. 7.

Angels swoop in again, sign Hawk-ins
While waiting for CJ Wilson to make his decision, the Angels filled another hole on their roster by signing reliever LaTroy Hawkins to a 1-year deal.
Hawkins signed for 3 million, not bad for a middle innings, and sometimes late innings guy. The 38 year old Hawkins should do what Fernando Rodney couldn’t do, and that’s mentor Jordan Walden, and some of the other young...

MLB News: LaTroy Hawkins Back With Brewers
When the Milwaukee Brewers signed LaTroy Hawkins to a 2 year $7.5 million contract, they did not expect him to post a 8.44 ERA. Hawkins was expected to be the team's setup man but instead landed on the disabled list with a shoulder issue that led to season ending surgery in August.
Hawkins is now healthy and rejoined the team during their series with the Philadelphia Phillies...

Hawkins in pinstripes? Yikes!
As a New York Yankee fan, there is only one good thing I can say about the Yankees' decision to add LaTroy Hawkins to their bullpen.
Thank God Hawkins is reportedly only getting a one-year contract ($3.75M) from the Yankees!

Hawkins having strong season after limited 2010
The Milwaukee Brewers signed LaTroy Hawkins before the 2010 season, but for all intents and purposes the veteran relief pitcher's first true season as a Brewer has come in 2011.
After a limited 2010 that was cut short by a shoulder injury, Hawkins has become a key piece in the Brewers' bullpen and is finally doing what he came to Milwaukee to do.

Hawkins keeping up prankster tradition
Baseball is the one professional sport where there are games played every day for seven straight months. So it is not surprising that in order to relieve daily tension and the occasional monotony of routine, that baseball is the one professional sport where the locker room conduct most closely resembles an episode of the Three Stooges.
Practical jokes run rampant in the Grand Old...

Former Astros Pitcher Gets Stupid, but Funny Prank Played on Him
Latroy Hawkins gets a stupid prank played on him right here. This is the type of prank reserved for 6 year olds. I’m not sure why I think it’s funny. The worst part is; the drama and suspense built up for like 3 minutes and that was the finale?! Booooo.. .alright it’s a little funny. Alton Jones is a famous fisherman, who apparently is still in the 3rd grade when...

Hawkins Will Wear No. 21
Evidently it's premature to put away your outrage, Yankee fans. Diehards of the Bombers were indignant this spring when non-roster invitee Morgan Ensberg was granted the No. 21 during spring training. No Yankee had donned the number since Paul O'Neill, and it had widely been assumed that the franchise would eventually retire it. However, crisis seemed to be averted when Ensberg...
