Hoffman re-signs with the Brewers

At least for the 2010 season, Hells Bells will be ringing at Miller Park. As reported by Adam McCalvy of MLB.com, all time saves leader Trevor Hoffman has agreed to a 1 year, 8 million dollar contract with an option for 2011, which could equal 8.5 million. Hoffman, who finished the season with a 1.83 ERA, saved 37 of 41 games for the crew. He will be turning 42 Oct. 13.

Hoffman Update

If all goes well this week, Trevor Hoffman will be returning to the Brewers hopefully in the next week or so. Hoffman will make two appearances for the Nashville Sounds on Tuesday and Thursday.

"Hoffman will be starting a game for [Triple-A] Nashville in Memphis on Tuesday, then pitch for them again in the middle of a game on Thursday," Brewers manager Ken Macha said before the Brewers played the Mets at Citi Field on Sunday. "He should be ready to be activated next Sunday in Houston."

Todd Coffey and Trevor Hoffman at the end of the bullpen? Sounds like a great idea to me. The offense just needs to be able to score runs consistently, and the starting pitcher needs to reach Macha's goal and pitch six innings. The SP has looked better the third time around, and I just hope the hitting can get going when Gallardo is on the mound.

Trevor Hoffman to DL

As expected, Trevor Hoffman has been placed on the DL. This could be a problem since Charlie Carlos Villanueva is expected to handle the ninth inning. After a rough spring, hopefully Villanueva can hold down the fort while Hoffman comes back from the oblique strain.
