Good for Trevor Hoffman! He deserves to be on a winning team and it is good to see him pitching well again. I completely get why the Padres did not resign him, who would he mentor? There is not one person on the Padres club that is good enough or would listen to a veteran like Trevor.
Now that is not to say Heath Bell is not a good closer or could use Trevor in the bully, but what for? Heath is doing fine and there is no reason to have Hoffman sitting in the bullpen spitting seeds looking mean just to hop in the shower without seeing any action.
Tim Sullivan writes a good article in the SD Union Tribune about how he Padres can get out of this funk. I agree with most of what he is saying(mainly because he has been doing this for years and he looks mean.) Trade Peavy, yes. Send Kouz to the moon, yes. Extend Adrian, yes. Bring back Maddox, no! That is the problem with the Padres, they bring in retreads every single year.
Just let the crappy pitchers pitch and bring up some young hitters to see
what happens.
This franchise is so far in the tank that trading Peavy for allot of young talent is the only option. Great article Tim.
Oh, I almost forget about the 11-3 beatdown the squad took in Chicago. Enough said. Maybe a little home cooking and long fences will help them out.
Peace
