Trevor Hoffman
8 March 2008
of the Brewers tripled off Trevor Hoffman. The Padres went on to have a 2-run lead in extras against the Rockies in that wonderful play-in game before Hoffman again blew the lead. This team should again contend for a playoff spot though. They have a suspect line-up, which is led by Adrian Gonzalez. They brought in Jim Edmonds to help in the middle of the order but they don’t scare many people. Khalil Greene, Scott Hairston and Brian Giles just aren’t going to cut it. The rotation is solid up front with CY Young winner Jake Peavy and Chris Young but after that I am not so sure. Greg Maddux is not getting any younger or any better, Randy Wolf never became the pitcher people thought he would turn into and Mark Prior has question after question as their 5 starter. Can he stay healthy and if so can he even come close to regaining the form he had back in 2003. I don’t think this bullpen is very strong either.
