3 sign hoffy for one year with a vesting option for next year if he saves 45+games it becomes guaranteed. in the mean time broxton learns how to become a closer since i highly doubt brox spoke chinese and believe me there was a language barrier between him and saito...then resign manny,,...do you people really believe the brewers have a better chance to win over the dodgers? come on! even with out manny the dodgers are better...with him..no doubt! 3888305

2 I think Jonathan Broxton has was it takes to be the closer. But this is probably more of an insurance policy than not trusting Broxton's ability. And it helps make there bullpen that much deeper. You got Cory Wade for the 7th, Broxton for the 8th and a Hall of Famer in Hoffman closes n' the door. Not a bad way to finish the games, especially the way the dodgers produced runs without Manny in the lineup. Which they may not again. 3888047

1 Don't thibk the Dodgers would use him strictly as a closer, with Jonathan Broxton on board. Hoffman may want to stay in Ca., but it probably won't be with L.A. 3884980

Alltime saves leader Trevor Hoffman is talking seriously to a couple teams, notably the Brewers and Dodgers, and could sign in coming days. The Brewers had been discouraged about Hoffman's willingness to leave his native Southern California, where he pitched for the San Diego Padres from 1993-2008. While that may still be a hurdle, Brewers GM Doug Melvin said talks with Hoffman have been rekindled recently. Hoffman saved 30 games in 34 chances last year, bringing his career total to 554. Hoffman, who has pitched all but the first 28 games of his Hall of Fame-bound career with the Padres, probably would prefer to stay close to his home base, if all things are equal. He grew up 45 miles south of Los Angeles, in Anaheim where his father Ed frequently sang the National Anthem at Angels' games. http://img.fannation.com/upload/user_profile/image/100/64/thumb/Heyman_Jon.png 0 NY
