Pierzynski 12 Posted December 6, 2005 Share Posted December 6, 2005 The Indians met Monday morning with Rick Thurman, the representative for Trevor Hoffman, and appear to be moving closer to signing the free-agent closer to a three-year deal in the $21 million to $24 million range. Hoffman is expected to take a physical for the Indians on Tuesday. The Padres, who met with Hoffman's representatives later Monday, believe they still have a chance of retaining their closer. http://msn.foxsports.com/mlb/story/5141070 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whitesoxfan101 Posted December 6, 2005 Share Posted December 6, 2005 We saw him once last year, and Rowand hit one about 900 feet. He's 38 and has no fastball anymore, and the Indians are WAY overpaying. Bring him on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ricky3353 Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 The contracts may be getting rediculous but the fact of the matter is that if you want talent you gotta pay for it. This move kinda worries me cause that just means that the tribe in gonna be a little stronger late in games. We'll have to see whatelse the do though cause as they are presently constituted the Tribe isnt even close to THE CHAMPS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's the Maddux of closers in a way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
