Is Hoffman willing to be a setup man?

[davidmarver]

No chance he'd set up. The man is a closer. End of discussion.

Dead on. He was born to pitch the ninth with the lead.

I still think he'll end up in San Diego...remember when it looked like Tony would go to Anaheim? Hoffman's just trying to build some leverage in his last free agency. He'll be back.

how is this thread not instigating agian?


Hoffman is a Closer.
He is not a setup for the Spankees or some other rich east coast sloth team, nice try.

Lol. You have to admit there would be some wonderful irony (for us at any rate) if the Yankees signed Hoffman to setup for Rivera.

yes it would be irony, and I would be bald because of the physical removal of all my hair

That would be a great, great day.

I know many fans that are not re-uping their season tickets until the Hoffman deal is settled. Don't think for a minute that Towers/Alderson hasn't noticed. If Trevor gets that save record in another uniform, there will be some upset fans for a very long time.

Wow.

Maybe I find that strange because I'm an Oakland fan (where if a guy stays longer than 4 years you are suprised).

True. If I were a true fan I would move to Oakland and triple their annual attendance.

Hey that's not fair...

You would only double it.

Oakland's got it tough for a variety of reasons, but that's a different thread.

As for the topic, there's not a chance Hoffman ends his career as a set up man, too many teams need a good closer, despite his age.
