Trevor Hoffman: Price Too Steep?

Mon, 05 Oct 2009 11:15:00 -0500

Like so many other baseball fans, I am a huge fan of Trevor Hoffman and I'm thrilled to see him return in 2010:"Hoffman, who turns 42 next week, had 37 saves and a 1.55 ERA with the Brewers this season, pushing his career saves total to 591, the major league record.Hoffman will earn $8 million next season, and Hoffman and the Brewers will share an option for another deal in the 2011."Like I said before, I love Hoffman, but I just dunno about this deal from the Brewers' persp...

Hoffman, Brewers "pretty close" to deal for 2010 return Via Adam McCalvy: "Trevor Hoffman's season ended on a low note, but there were plenty of high ones in his first season with the Brewers. He said after Sunday's season finale that he's close to signing a deal to return in 2010."

As expected, Trevor Hoffman will remain with the Brewers for the rest of the season.

48 hours have passed: Hoffman remains a Brewer.

48 hours have passed: Hoffman remains a Brewer. No official confirmation yet, but here's my logic: - The story linked above is McCalvy's initial post on Hoffman being claimed. It was timestamped at 2:43 Thursday. - 48 hours forward from 2:43 Thursday would be 2:43 today. - Assuming McCalvy needed a moment to gather facts and actually write the post, Hoffman was likely actually claimed before 2:43 Thursday. As such, 48 hours have passed and, unless an announcement is slow...

A Different Home for Hoffman?

Thu, 27 Aug 2009 14:10:00 -0500

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 2...

Ken Macha Does Not Appreciate Trevor Hoffman's Loud Music

Mon, 04 May 2009 07:49:49 -0500

Hells Bells not only intimidates opposing hitters, but Trevor Hoffman's manager as well.ESPN.com:Macha said he hid in the bathroom when Hoffman took the mound to start the ninth. Hoffman had earlier complained in jest that his AC/DC entrance music wasn't loud enough, causing the sound crew to crank it up the last two appearances. "That baby is so loud, you should have OSHA investigate that," Macha joked.Ok, then. So what have we learned here?1. Ken Macha does not like loud m...

Hoffman joins Brew Crew

Thu, 08 Jan 2009 18:58:43 -0500

In a big shock to me Trevor Hoffman is no longer a member of the San Diego Padres. It was announced today that the Milwaukee Brewers and the first ballot Hall of Fame pitcher agreed to a one-year contract worth six million dollars. This shouldn?t really be a surprise as negotiations between the [...]

Ambidextrous pitcher a modern phenomenon.

How nice would it be to have this guy as your closer. And the best part about him is his name. No entrance is better than Trevor Hoffman's Hells Bells. But imagine the possibilities..."It's Pat, it's Pat, ambidextrous, it's Pat."
